Sweat / Lynn Nottage. by Nottage, Lynn. Theatre Communications Group, 2017. Call #: 812.6 N918s Subjects City and town life -- Pennsylvania -- Reading -- Drama.   Global Financial Crisis, 2008-2009 -- Drama.   Interpersonal relations -- Drama.   American drama -- Women authors.   American drama -- Black authors.   American drama -- 21st century.   Pulitzer Prize for Drama. ISBN:  9781559365321 (pbk.) Edition:  First edition. Description:  112 pages ; 22 cm. Notes:  A play. Summary:  "From first moments to last, this compassionate but clear-eyed play throbs with heartfelt life, with characters as complicated as any you'll encounter at the theater today, and with a nifty ticking time bomb of a plot. That the people onstage are middle-class or lower-middle-class folks - too rarely given ample time on American stages - makes the play all the more vital a contribution to contemporary drama. If I had pompoms, I'd be waving them now."--Charles Isherwood, The New York Times. No stranger to dramas both heartfelt and heart-rending, playwright Lynn Nottage has written one of her most exquisitely devastating tragedies to date. In one of the poorest cities in America, Reading, Pennsylvania, a group of down-and-out factory workers struggles to keep their present lives in balance, ignorant of the financial devastation looming in their near futures. Set in 2008, the powerful crux of this new play is knowing the fate of the characters long before it's even in their sights. Based on Nottage's extensive research and interviews with real residents of Reading, Sweat is a topical reflection of the present and poignant outcome of America's economic decline. Lynn Nottage's plays include the Pulitzer Prize-winning Ruined; Intimate Apparel, By the Way, Meet Vera Stark, Fabulation, or the Re-Education of Undine; Crumbs from the Table of Joy; Las Meninas; Mud, River, Stone; Por'knockers, and POOF!"--Provided by publisher. "Lynn Nottage is an American playwright whose work often deals with the lives of women of African descent. She is an associate professor of theater at Columbia University and a lecturer in playwriting at the Yale School of Drama. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2009 for Ruined. She won the 2016 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2017 for Sweat. This made her the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama twice."--From wikipedia.org website.
