2 Male 2 Female
In the bustling kitchen of a run-down Pennsylvania truck stop, the formerly incarcerated staff have been given a second chance.
Under the tyrannical eye of their boss Clyde, this unlikely team strives to create the perfect sandwich, as they dream of leaving their past mistakes behind for a better life.
Lynn Nottage's hilarious, hopeful play Clyde's premiered in 2021 at the Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis, before opening on Broadway where it was nominated for four Tony Awards and five Drama Desk Awards (winning four) and becoming the most produced and successful play of the year.
REVIEWS
"Lynn Nottage’s delightful new play, Clyde’s, dares to flip the paradigm. Though it’s still about dark things, including prison, drugs, homelessness and poverty, it somehow turns them into bright comedy" ~ The New York Times
