Review: CLYDE'S at TheaterWorks In Hartford

Lynn Nottage’s dark comedy, Clyde’s, is something of a departure for the author of Ruined and Sweat, among many other plays. Nottage is the only woman in history to win two Pulitzer Prizes for Drama, and though Clyde’s is not nearly in that league, the plot deals with people struggling to reclaim lives that at one time or another went terribly off course. TheaterWorks serves the play well, beginning with Mikael Burke’s strong direction and an ensemble of typically terrific actors and imaginative design artists.
Theaterworks Hartford Extends Run of Pulitzer Prize Winner Lynn Nottage's CLYDE'S Through Early August

Discover the gripping drama of 'Clyde's' by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage. Theaterworks Hartford has extended the run of this acclaimed play until August 5. Don't miss your chance to experience the power and artistry of this must-see production.
