About the Show

Lynn Nottage's Tony-nominated comedy about the formerly incarcerated staff of a sandwich shop.

The work of two-time Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Lynn Nottage makes its George Street Playhouse debut with the bold, electric comedy, Clyde's, about the power of food to heal.

Centered around the formerly incarcerated kitchen staff at a truck stop sandwich shop, Clyde’s is a story about living with and through your mistakes – and the importance of a shared goal in bringing each of us together; like the quest for creating the perfect sandwich.
