Bøger af Bruce Norris

Clybourne Park spans two generations fifty years apart. In 1959, Russ and Bev are selling their desirable two-bedroom at a bargain price, unknowingly bringing the first black family into the neighborhood (borrowing a plot line from Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun) and creating ripples of discontent among the cozy white residents of Clybourne Park. In 2009, the same property is being bought by a young white couple, whose plan to raze the house and start again is met with equal disapproval by the black residents of the soon-to-be-gentrified area. Are the issues festering beneath the floorboards actually the same, fifty years on? Bruce Norris's excruciatingly funny and squirm-inducing satire explores the fault line between race and property.Clybourne Park is the winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and the winner of the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play.

Chicago, 1959: Dass eines der Häuser in Clybourne Park an eine schwarze Familie verkauft werden soll, sorgt in der weißen Nachbarschaft für unverhohlene Empörung. - 50 Jahre später: Eine weiße Familie kauft das Haus und weckt damit in dem inzwischen vor allem von Schwarzen bewohnten Viertel die Angst vor einer drohenden Gentrifizierung. Mit seinem Stück über unterschwellige, aber dafür umso wirkmächtigere Vorurteile und Spannungen knüpft Norris an Lorraine Hansberrys »A Raisin in the Sun« an, eines der Schlüsselwerke des amerikanischen Black Drama. 2011 erhielt er dafür den Pulitzer-Preis.
