Lynn Nottage's timely winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize tells the story of a friend group, a town, and a nation, all at once. Set at a bar in Reading, Pennsylvania, Sweat follows a cadre of blue-collar friends and co-workers from all walks of life as their livelihoods are threatened by layoffs and picket lines, pitting them against each other. Sweat is a "keenly observed and often surprisingly funny…but ultimately heartbreaking" (New York Times) tale of the fight to stay afloat while the water level in the world around you quickly rises.
