Workers walk into a bar ready to drink, relax, vent, decompress. and take an in-person Montgomery audience into their world.
That s right. As of Thursday, and running through May 9, in-person theater is returning to the Cloverdale Playhouse in Montgomery. The outdoor courtyard has been transformed into a bar for Sweat, a 2017 Pulitzer Prize winning play by Lynn Nottage. It really deals with working class, and the bond that people form around work. It s really a play for our times, said director Georgette Norman.
Set in Reading, Pennsylvania between 2000 and 2008, Sweat is a thought provoking look at the lives we build around ourselves. In this case, it deals with a group of unionized steel mill workers whose company is suddenly making changes. Between layoffs and picket lines, ordinary lives are suddenly caught in a war between community and capitalism.
