WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
When Clifford's suburban family explodes into divorce and violence, he runs -- and finds an unlikely protector in Sir John, a master of the spoken word and aspiring hip-hop producer with a mysterious past. Sir John teaches Clifford to use hip-hop to find his voice -- and discovers a talent that just might take the world by storm. As Clifford ascends to stardom as the phenom Clay, his world is turned upside down by a past that won't let loose.
An explosive performance in a rock-and-roll fable featuring an arresting and original hip-hop score. Clay is written and performed by Matt Sax, developed in collaboration with and directed by Eric Rosen. Center Theatre Group presents The About Face Theatre and Lookingglass Theatre Company production.

Clay at the Kirk Douglas Theatre, Sax melds a story any theatergoer can relate to with the sounds of rap music. The effect of this singular work -- first seen at Chicago's Lookingglass Theatre in 2006 -- is both startling and moving.
The story centers on Clifford, a displaced child begging to find his voice in a chaotic world. During Clay, Sax takes on the forms of several diverse characters from Clifford's hare-lipped promoter, Sir John, to his weaselly father, sexually confused stepmother,[...]
