A truck stop sandwich counter provides opportunity and redemption for a formerly incarcerated staff. Clyde, the shops strong-willed and callous owner suppresses them, but despite it all the staff learn to reclaim their purpose and inspiration allowing themselves to dream. The NY Times says this about Clyde’s, “We are living in Greek times…The systems that control our lives—institutional racism, predatory capitalism, the prison-industrial complex—seem as powerful and implacable as gods. What can humans do about fate, [other] playwrights suggest, but submit to it and hope to preserve the story?… But Nottage’s delightful play, Clyde’s…dares to flip the paradigm.” Nottage’s brilliance as a storyteller is how she can simultaneously bring the ills of our society to the fore and reveal the humanity in a bright comedy.
Clyde's
