Kara Young stars with Uzo Aduba, Ron Cephas Jones, Edmund Donovan and Reza Salazar in Lynn Nottage's feast of a play.
written by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage. Directed by Kate Whoriskey, the Second Stage Theater production centers around Clyde, , a tough-as-nails owner of her self-titled sandwich joint and her kitchen staff .
Everyone, including Clyde, has served time in prison. They are all dreamers in search of reinvention, redemption and something so much better. They all, , refuse to let the truck stop’s greasy spoon exterior or the harshness of life in Reading, Pennsylvania keep them from their devotion to their art—crafting the ultimate masterpiece of a sandwich.
The powerfully evocative, riotously funny and deliciously unique play has landed on many lists as one of the best plays of 2021. Young plays Letitia, a struggling mother who was incarcerated for stealing seizure medication from a pharmacy for her then three-year-old daughter. “Didn’t have no insurance. They kept turning me down and Carmen woulda died before all of the medicaid paperwork went through,” says Letitia in the play who is seven months out of prison. Her daughter is now five. “It was expensive and I was panicked, you know, got desperate, not thinkin’. That’s the truth of it. I would’ve done anythin’ to protect her.” Letitia admittedly also “got greedy” during the theft and stole “oxy and addy to sell on the side,” she says. “…my mistake, and this is on me.
For Young, her love for the play and compassion for Letitia is boundless. “I wish I had an ounce of the strength that she has to wake up every day and face the world,” says Young. “Letitia is the personification and epitome of resilience, perseverance and survival. She wants and needs to discover her voice, hold onto her creative spirit and find her magic.” reminds us of our desire to be loved and what connects us all. “There is humanity in the people who are often overlooked.
