Sweat: Pulitzer-Winning Rust Belt Drama
As scandal and vitriol dominate the news, it's hard not to feel like the issues that really matter aren't being talked about. So when Lynn Nottage's Sweat hit Broadway in the wake of the 2016 election, it was like a truth bomb went off. The Pulitzer committee felt the same way, awarding Nottage the prize for going "where few playwrights have dared to go" (Variety). Set in the Rust Belt, this poignant and surprisingly funny play follows a group of friends who find themselves pitted against each other when a union lockout turns their assembly lines into picket lines. Don't miss this timely, vibrant portrait of America from American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco.
