Directed by Taylor Reynolds, Clyde's is a transcendent comedy about people rising above their past mistakes and reconnecting with the world. A co-production with Huntington Theatre Company.
In this feel-good comic drama, the formerly incarcerated kitchen staff at a truck-stop sandwich shop attempt to rebuild their lives. While their tough-as-nails boss -- who slings sizzling insults fast and processed food even faster -- tries to thwart their dreams, each staff member is encouraged by the mysterious chef to indulge in imagining, then creating, their perfect sandwich. A buoyant play full of witty dialogue, Clyde's is a transcendent story about people rising above their past mistakes and reconnecting with the world. Clyde's is a co-production with Huntington Theatre Company.
"It's hard to imagine anyone other than Lynn who could create such a potent blend of politics, humor, and a reminder that even in the most mundane tasks, there exists the possibility of the transcendent," said Berkeley Rep Artistic Director Johanna Pfaelzer. "It is a privilege to put this amazing play into the hands of director Taylor Reynolds, an extraordinary talent who I'm delighted to welcome to Berkeley Rep for the first time."
"I'm so excited to collaborate with Berkeley Rep this season," adds director Taylor Reynolds. "I have been a fan of the many brilliant works that have come out of Berkeley Rep from afar for quite some time and am grateful to finally have my chance to experience it for myself. I'm looking forward to seeing how Bay Area audiences respond to Clyde's, a story of people looking to rebuild and transform their lives, which feels more relatable than ever."
The cast of Clyde's includes (in alphabetical order) Wesley Guimarães (Rafael), Cyndii Johnson (Leticia), Louis Reyes McWilliams (Jason), April Nixon (Clyde), and Harold Surratt (Montrellous).
