Steelworkers’ stories come to life onstage in ‘Sweat’
“Sweat,” a new play by Lynn Nottage, is a humorous and harrowing look at the decline of the Rust Belt in modern America. Inspired by stories from Reading, Pennsylvania -- once home to one of the richest corporations in the world and now one of the poorest cities in the nation -- “Sweat” examines the lives of steel workers left behind by changing times. Jeffrey Brown reports.
