Lynn Nottage is the recipient of two Pulitzer Prize Awards for Drama for Sweat and Ruined. She is the first woman playwright to be honored twice. Her other plays include Mlima's Tale; the book for the musical adaptation of The Secret Life of Bees; Intimate Apparel; By the Way, Meet Vera Stark; Fabulation, or the Re-Education of Undine; Crumbs from the Table of Joy; and Las Meninas.

"Nottage's delightful Clyde's dares to flip the paradigm. Though it's still about dark things, including prison, drugs, homelessness, and poverty, it somehow turns them into bright comedy. That Clyde's is a comedy does not mean it doesn't have tragedy baked in . . . Though it ultimately rejects the Greek model, it is still about gods and mortals." --Jesse Green, New York Times

"Nottage's dramas have a knack for getting to the heart of ordinary tales, rendering them with precision and re-presenting them in compelling ways . . . A poignant story loaded with laugh-out-loud funny jokes . . . If Sweat cataloged the pain of betrayal, then Clyde's finds itself exploring not just good versus evil, but the strength of solidarity." --Lovia Gyarkye, Hollywood Reporter

"Clyde's is a highly entertaining comedy of kitchen nightmares at a Pennsylvania truck stop . . . Broadway's cup of bracing drama has begun to runneth over."--Peter Marks, Washington Post

"The feel-good play of the season. But from seemingly disparate ingredients--slices of ex-con life, a dash of fresh rom-com, a battle between the forces of good and evil--Nottage has crafted a light, delicious medley of sustenance and flavor."--Adam Feldman, Time Out New York
