what kind of genre is the play clybourne park
CHERYL CORLEY, BYLINE: Clybourne Park was inspired by Lorraine Hansberry's 1959 groundbreaking drama A Raisin in the Sun, and it picks up where Hansberry left us. In that play, we meet the Youngers, the black family that decided to move from a South Side Chicago neighborhood to the all-white Clybourne Park.his year's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Clybourne Park is set in a fictional Chicago neighborhood, so it has special resonance now that it's playing at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre. It also has resonance because of the issues it raises: race, class, gentrification and war. NPR's Cheryl Corley reports.
