Sweat

Lynn Nottage

2015

Introduction

Sweat is a Pulitzer Prize–winning play by African American dramatist Lynn Nottage. It premiered at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon, on July 29, 2015, and then opened at the Arena Stage in Washington, DC, on January 15, 2016. It received its New York premiere at the Public Theater on November 3, 2016, and its Broadway premiere on March 26, 2017, at Studio 4. Set over a period of eight years, from 2000 to 2008, in the impoverished working-class town of Reading, Pennsylvania, the play examines the issue of economic deprivation, specifically the loss of manufacturing jobs. The closing of the local steel factory as jobs are moved to Mexico disrupts life in this town where people have worked at the factory for decades and have few alternatives. The play also touches on issues of race relations and prescription drug abuse. Sweat was published by Theatre Communications Group in 2017.

Author Biography

Nottage was born on November 2, 1964, in Brooklyn, New York. Encouraged by her mother and grandmother, she wrote her first play at the age of eight. She attended the High School of Music and Art in Harlem, where she wrote her first full-length play. After graduating in 1982, she went on to Brown University, graduating in 1986. Then she enrolled at Yale School of Drama to earn a master's in fine arts degree in playwriting. She graduated in 1989.

In the 1990s Nottage worked for several years as a press officer for Amnesty International. Her playwriting career began in earnest in 1993, with the one-act play Poof!, which focused on domestic abuse. It was produced at the Actors Theater in Louisville, Kentucky, and was so successful that it attracted national attention. With the aid of a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in 1994, Nottage wrote several more plays, including Crumbs from the Table of Joy, which was produced by the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago in 1996. It premiered at Second Stage Theatre in 1995. Por'knockers (1995) focused on the political activism of a group of African Americans.

One of Nottage's most successful plays was Intimate Apparel (2003), which won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award and the Steinberg Award. Four years later, Nottage had another major success when Ruined premiered at the Goodman Theater in Chicago. The play, which shows women in the Democratic Republic of Congo managing to survive in
