Donmar Warehouse has revealed the final two shows in their programme for 2023, and the conclusion of Donmar’s 30th birthday season, including the European première of Clyde’s and Macbeth starring David Tennant.

Clyde’s reunites double Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage and director Lynette Linton as a follow up to their Donmar smash hit Sweat which transferred to the West End. The production begins previews from 13 October and runs until 2 December.

In the bustling kitchen of a run-down Pennsylvania truck stop, the formerly incarcerated staff have been given a second chance. Under the tyrannical eye of their boss Clyde, this unlikely team strives to create the perfect sandwich, as they dream of leaving their past mistakes behind for a better life.

The season concludes with William Shakespeare’s Macbeth starring David Tennant in the title role, directed by Donmar Associate Director Max Webster, which begins previews from 8 December and runs until 10 February 2024.

Michael Longhurst’s final season of shows before he steps down as Artistic Director next year will be announced in Autumn 2023.

Michael Longhurst said: For my penultimate season announcement, I am thrilled to share two more productions to round off our 30th birthday year. First, we have the European première of Lynn Nottage’s hilarious and uplifting CLYDE’S directed by Lynette Linton, fresh from her Critics’ Circle Best Director win.  CLYDE’S follows their astonishing production of SWEAT staged at the Donmar, and the West End, in 2019. And I am so excited to witness David Tennant’s portrayal of Macbeth, in what will be an unmissable production directed by Max Webster.”
