Sweat

Center Repertory Company will present Lynn Nottage’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Sweat, directed by acclaimed actor and director Elizabeth Carter. This searing play, called “a superb, vital contribution to contemporary drama that could not be more timely” (New York Times), follows a group of friends who have spent their lives working together on the factory floor, sharing drinks, secrets, and laughs. When layoffs and picket lines begin to chip away at their trust, lifelong companions become combatants in a heart-wrenching fight to stay afloat. Race, class, and friendship collide in this explosive drama.
