Clyde's by Lynn Nottage

3.0

This is a production that I would like to see, especially for the visual comedic moments that I can envision when reading. As well as the emotionally charged choreographed sandwich-making. Those moments that are brief descriptors in the script when staged probably give another context to the story I am not getting from reading just the words. The symbolic themes of redemption, survival, self-love, and acceptance are universal, and I could feel that heaviness from the characters. As this was one of the most produced productions in 2022, I want to find a way to see it because the script is just a blueprint for what I am capable of imagining, and would like to see it fully fleshed out. Overall, it was enjoyable and I need to think a little longer about the power of food, especially the making of the perfect sandwich.
