Clybourne Park 'could make a move to Theatre Royal Haymarket'
Tuesday, 7 September 2010
It has been speculated that new play Clybourne Park could soon be making its way to the West End.
The production, which only opened at the Royal Court Jerwood Theatre Downstairs on September 2nd 2010, may be heading to the Theatre Royal Haymarket in the coming months, according to WhatsonStage.com.
Written by Bruce Norris, Clybourne Park stars Martin Freeman and Sophie Thompson and is a study of racism in the property market. It tells the story of what happens when a white couple in the 1950s sell their home to a black couple and how it has repercussions many years later.
The Washington Post praised it for applying "a modern twist to the issues of race and housing and aspirations for a better life", while Henry Hitchings of the London Evening Standard gave it five stars and called it "achingly intelligent".
Sweet Charity is currently appearing at the Theatre Royal Haymarket until December 2010.
