Clybourne Park is a 2010 play by Bruce Norris written in response to Lorraine Hansberry's play A Raisin in the Sun portraying fictional events set before and after the play and loosely based on real life events. Issues concerning black and white relations and personal human values are challenged in this very dramatic and frequently hilarious play. Clybourne Park was named one of the “Best Ten Plays of 2010” by The New York Times and by The London Times.
