The West End and Broadway hit Clybourne Park comes to Theatr Clwyd in Mold for one week only as part of the first UK tour of this multi award-winning show.

Clybourne Park is a razor-sharp satire which lifts the lid on race and real estate in a fictional Chicago neighbourhood.

The swinging 60s are just around the corner as a black family move into a suburban white enclave, triggering all too predictable mutterings from the neighbours. Fofty years on, we return to the same house as gentrification sets in and the roles are reversed in this hilarious razor-sharp satire that lifts the lid on race and real estate in a fictional Chicago neighbourhood.
