A hero can be more than a sandwich
From the director of last season’s smash hit THE MOUNTAINTOP comes two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage’s new “flavor-bomb of a comedy” (Variety), that’s “a spicy feast for the senses” (Chicago Sun Times). In a diner kitchen that might be hell, limbo, or just a greasy spoon off the Pennsylvania turnpike, four formerly incarcerated cooks strive for redemption through their shared quest to create the perfect sandwich—all under the devilish gaze of their hard-driving boss. CLYDE’S combines uproarious humor, fulsome heart, and generous hospitality into a delicious theatrical meal that shows why Nottage is among America’s greatest living playwrights.
“A laugh riot with real meat on its bones.” – The New York Times
“At Clyde’s, sandwiches tell stories, hold truths, and nourish dreams…a poignant story with laugh-out-loud funny jokes.” – The Hollywood Reporter
Run time: approximately 100 minutes, no intermission
