Theatre Erindale Presents Bruce Norris’ Clybourne Park |
| “Thought-provoking, squirm-inducing, riotously funny - it reminds you of why you go to the theatre." - West End Whingers “A spiky and damningly insightful new comedy." -Ben Brantley, The New York Times "Superb, elegantly written, and hilarious." -John Lahr, The New Yorker “Outrageously funny” -Charles Spencer, The Telegraph “Theatre Now” – Theatre Erindale’s first all-contemporary season, continues with a Pulitzer Prize/Tony/Olivier Award-winning modern classic, Bruce Norris’s Clybourne Park. In two acts set 50 years apart, the past and current owners of 406 Clybourne Street are confronted by racial and cultural divisions. In both cases, a battle over the community takes place, pitting race against real estate with this home as the battlefield. Norris’s satire is a savage and funny ode to Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, a central work in the modern American dramatic canon and the first play by an African-American woman to be staged on Broadway. For this production, Theatre Erindale is delighted to bring back recent Theatre and Drama Studies alumnus Cameron Grant to join students from this year’s graduating class. Straight from his first season at the Shaw Festival, he returns to Theatre Erindale before heading back to Shaw, where he will be performing in The Hound of Baskervilles and Henry V! Clybourne Park is directed by Program Coordinator and Artistic Director David Matheson, who praises his cast: “These young actors have honoured a controversial and challenging script with grace, humour, maturity, and style.” |
