Delly Fever Shines in Dual Role of Francine/Lena in Clybourne Park
Delly Fever delivered a truly captivating performance in Bruce Norris’s Clybourne Park, taking on the powerful dual roles of Francine and Lena. Her portrayal left the audience on their feet in a well-deserved standing ovation.
In Act I, set in 1959, Delly embodied Francine—the Black housekeeper working for a white couple, Russ and Bev. With quiet strength and layered emotion, she navigated the microaggressions and racism of the era with a polite facade that slowly unraveled, exposing deep frustration and dignity.
Then, in a stunning transformation in Act II (2009), Delly reemerged as Lena—a sharp, passionate voice of resistance to the gentrification threatening her longtime neighborhood. Her performance brought nuance, heart, and fire to Lena's concerns about the erasure of Black identity and history.
Delly Fever’s ability to inhabit two women separated by time but united by experience was nothing short of masterful. Her performance illuminated the ongoing conversations around race, class, and belonging, making this production of Clybourne Park unforgettable.
