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.
"It is hard to imagine that there will be a more compelling drama the rest of this season"! —Ed Heinzelman, An Intuitive Perspective
"Milwaukee Chamber Theatre stages an amazing performance... a must-see... fast-paced comedy"! —Anne Siegel, Third Coast Review
"A passionate tale of struggle and sandwiches in a restaurant kitchen on the edge of redemption... a delicious concept... a fun dynamic... a trip to the theatre to watch an existentially powerful kitchen at work" —Russ Bickerstaff, The Shepherd Express
Run time: approximately 105 minutes, no intermission
