Part of our 2018 Salon Series—cocktails, conversation, and staged readings of plays by women playwrights, curated and directed by the women of Everyman Theatre’s Resident Acting Company. In Sweat, a working class Pennsylvania community finds its closeness tested under the pressure of layoffs and picket lines, as trust erodes among a tight-knit group of friends who work together on the line of a factory floor. Winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, The New York Times hails Sweat “Superb… [Nottage] is writing at the peak of her powers.”
