Sweat at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati

Explosive drama: Made in America.This powerful drama takes us to the forgotten heart of America, where old friends come together at their favorite bar as they struggle to survive a fraying economy. For decades, theyve shared secrets and laughs on the factory floor, but now layoffs pit them against one another as inequities of race and class fan the flames. Based on the playwrights extensive research and interviews with real residents of Reading, Pennsylvania, Sweat is a topical reflection of the present and poignant outcome of Americas economic decline. MacArthur genius and two-time Pulitzer Prizewinner Lynn Nottage infuses this searing script with her trademark mix of compassion, humor, and suspense.
