Winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama

Winner of the 2016 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize

“From first moments to last, this compassionate but clear-eyed play throbs with heartfelt life, with characters as complicated as any you can encounter at the theater these days, and with a nifty ticking time bomb of a plot. That the people onstage are middle-class or lower-middle-class folks — too rarely given ample time on American stages — makes the play the entire more vital a contribution to up to date drama. . . . If I had pompoms, I’d be waving them now.”—Charles Isherwood, The New York Times

No stranger to dramas both heartfelt and heart-rending, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage has written one of her most exquisitely devastating tragedies so far. In probably the most poorest cities in The united states, Reading, Pennsylvania, a group of down-and-out factory workers struggles to keep their present lives in balance, ignorant of the financial devastation looming in their near futures. Set in 2008, the powerful crux of this new play is knowing the fate of the characters long before it is even in their sights. In accordance with Nottage’s extensive research and interviews with real residents of Reading, Sweat is a topical reflection of the current and poignant outcome of The united states’s economic decline.

Lynn Nottage‘s plays include the Pulitzer Prize–winning Ruined; Intimate Apparel, the most widely produced play of the 2005–2006 theater season in The united states, By the Way, Meet Vera Stark, Fabulation, or the Re-Education of Undine; Crumbs from the Table of Joy; Las Meninas; Mud, River, Stone; Por’knockers, and POOF!
