Event Series Event Series: Sweat by Lynn Nottage

Sweat by Lynn Nottage

March 20 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Sweat by Lynn Nottage – This stunning Pulitzer Prize-winning play exposes the devastating impact of the loss of work in America’s Rust Belt, circa 2000. Based on interviews with residents of Reading, Pennsylvania, Lynn Nottage brings her breathtaking storytelling to characters and situations that have become far too recognizable in the heart of de-industrialized America. At the local hangout for steel workers, resentment explodes when one of the regulars gets a promotion and delivers the news that the factory is cutting jobs and wages by 60%. A strike is imminent. Sides are drawn. As friendship gives way to betrayal, an act of violence changes everything…forever.

SWEAT IS PART OF OUR 23-24 SUBSCRIPTION SEASON.
