In one of the poorest cities in America, Reading, Pennsylvania, a group of down-and-out factory workers struggle to keep their present lives in balance, ignorant of the financial devastation looming in their near future. Based on Nottage's extensive research and interviews with residents of Reading, <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Sweat</I> is a topical reflection of the present and poignant outcome of America's economic decline.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P><br /><br /><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P><br /><br /><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Arial","sans-serif"'>Lynn Nottage</SPAN></B><SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Arial","sans-serif"'> is the recipient of two Pulitzer Prize Awards for Drama for <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Sweat</I> and <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Ruined</I>.
