STAGE TUBE: In Rehearsal with Melbourne Theatre Company's CLYBOURNE PARK
By: Nicole Rosky
In one house on two afternoons fifty years apart, two couples pack up to move. In 1959, a white couple are confronted by neighbours who don't want them to sell their house to a black family. Fast forward to 2009 and the stakes are different, but the debate is strikingly familiar.
This deliciously uncomfortable social comedy reveals how far our ideas about race and gentrification have evolved - or have they?
