Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Clybourne Park is a 2011 stage play written by Bruce Norris.It is both a prequel to, sequel to, and Perspective Flip of 1959 play A Raisin in the Sun. The story unfolds in two parts. Part 1 is set in 1959. A married couple, Russ and Bev, have sold their home to a black family and are moving away. They are visited by a racist neighbor, Karl, who tries to persuade them to not sell. The family that Russ and Bev are selling to, not seen, are the Youngers from A Raisin in the Sun, and Karl is a character in that play. In fact this part of the play is set a couple of hours after the scene in A Raisin in the Sun where Karl tries and fails to buy the Youngers out.Part II is set 50 years later, in 2009. In the intervening decades, the Clybourne Park neighborhood filled up with mostly black homeowners. A white couple, Steve and Lindsay, have bought the house that the Youngers bought 50 years ago, and are planning to demolish it. They are having a meeting with Lena and Kevin, residents of the area, who have organized a petition objecting to Steve and Lindsay's plan to build a house taller than any other in the neighborhood. A cordial meeting devolves into hostility, as it eventually becomes clear that what Lena and Kevin (mainly Lena) object to is white gentrification of their neighborhood.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Flashback: The play ends with a flashback to 1959 in which Kenneth is writing his suicide note, while his mother chats at him, blissfully unaware. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Clybourne Park (Theatre) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: In the backstory to Act I. It's revealed that Russ and Bev's son Kenneth, who came home from the Korean War with PTSD and was accused of killing civilians, hanged himself. In fact, that is why Russ was willing to sell cheap to the Younger family, and why he turns a deaf ear to the complaints of neighborhood racists like Karl, who shunned Russ's son. | |

Dramatic Irony: The very end of the play is set back in 1959, and has Bev cheerfully saying "I really believe things are about to change for the better," while Kenneth is shown writing his suicide note. | |
