The 2022 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize has been awarded to U.K. playwright Benedict Lombe for her debut play Lava. In a special presentation at Shakespeare's Globe in London, the Blackburn Prize judges presented Lombe with a cash prize of $25,000, and a signed limited-edition print by renowned artist Willem de Kooning, created especially for the Prize.
Clybourne Park treats us to some fine performances across the board but particularly by Richard Lintern as Russ in the first act and Eric Underwood as Kevin in the second act.
