Sweat

About

Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lynn Nottage, Sweat is a theater production that depicts the lives of working-class America in a sociopolitical landscape run by 21st century capitalism. Set in a bar in Reading, Pennsylvania, a town that is going through severe deindustrialization, the show gets to the heart of many Americans's deep economic anxieties and racial tension through the interaction between two ex-convicts and their parole officer, as well as three childhood friends who all work at the same factory.
