Clybourne Park
Clybourne Park (2012) was a staged reading by Oslo International Theatre in collaboration with The Norwegian Theatre, using the play by Bruce Norris.
The centre of Clybourne Park is a house in a neighbourhood in Chicago. As the play starts during the 1950es a white married couple is about to sell the house to a black family, and the neighbours in the very white neighbourhood is not happy about it.
Fifty years later the neighbourhood consists of black families. Much is different, but the conflicts are surprisingly stable; who really likes the idea of strangers in one's neighbourhood?
The fear of the unknown and the lack of knowledge can both be wrapped in an acceptable, educated language and be presented as a wish what's best for the common good.
Bruce Norris (USA) won The Pulitzer Prize as well as The Olivier Award (Best New Play) for Clybourne Park in 2011.
"Through close and humorous storytelling the playwright gives a new perspective on our own time and our own relationship to the unknown", Oslo International Theatre writes about the play, and adds: "Norris wholeheartedly attempts to reveal his own and others'prejudices."
