Bruce Norris’ s 2011 Pulitzer Prize- winning drama Clybourne Park will have its Chicago premiere this fall, opening the Steppenwolf season from September 8 through October 6. Set in a Chicago bungalow, the first act takes place in 1959 and flashes forward to 2009 in Act 2. The Pulitzer Prize committee’s citation described Norris’ play as “a powerful work whose memorable characters speak in witty and perceptive ways to America’s sometimes toxic struggle with race and class consciousness.” Read more about the play in this Chicago Sun-Times article — and make plans to see it at Steppenwolf.
