DIRECTOR'S NOTE

“A

ll my plays are about people who have been marginalized,” says playwright Lynn Nottage, people “who have been erased from the public record.” Nottage’s profound curiosity about these marginalized human beings has taken her to a wide range of times and places in her writing, from 1905 New York City in Intimate Apparel, which was inspired by her great grandmother, a seamstress whom she knew little about, to the civil war torn Democratic Republic of Congo in Ruined, her Pulitzer Prize-winning play about women who have been raped and whose bodies are part of the battleground on which the war is being fought. With Sweat, the marginalized people she writes about are close to home and our near-contemporaries: displaced factory workers in Reading, Pennsylvania in the early part of the 21st century. Nottage uses her unparalleled empathy, insight and humanity to explore the relationships in a fracturing community, through a story that is viscerally resonant in our country today. Experiencing these and other plays by this superbly gifted and eclectic playwright has been a highlight of my theatre-going and theatre-making life. Ruined remains one of the most devastating pieces of theatre I’ve ever experienced as an audience member, and Intimate Apparel is one of the most beautifully written of all the plays I’ve ever directed. So it’s a joy for me to be back at Pioneer Theatre Company, working with such a talented group of actors and theatre artists on this latest, and arguably most urgent, play by one of our country’s finest playwrights. Mary B. Robinson, Director

DRAMATURGICAL NOTE

n interviews, playwright Lynn Nottage often recounts the series of interconnected personal and political events that gave rise to her journey to Reading, Pennsylvania and her subsequent writing of Sweat. In September 2011, Nottage was stunned to receive an email from a close friend and neighbor who revealed that she had been out of work and without any financial resources for over six months. Their ensuing conversation coincided with the beginning of the Occupy Wall Street movement (“We are the 99%”), which invaded NYC’s financial district with protests against corporate influence on politics and economic inequality. Nottage described how she and her friend went down – “these two middle-aged women” – and chanted with the protestors. “Nothing changed, but at least she knew she was not alone.” The Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Arena Stage co-commissioned Nottage to write a play for their American Revolutions History Cycle; she chose to investigate what she calls the “de-industrial revolution” of America, the closure of factories due to both increased automation and the impact of larger political forces, such as the signing of NAFTA – and the profound tectonic shifts these closures caused within their previously solid middle-class communities. Her friend’s financial plight and the Occupy Wall Street protests prompted Nottage to question how we’d gotten here as a country and “how poverty and economic stagnation were transforming and corrupting the American narrative.” Where once workers could unite to gain negotiating power, factories now pre-empted strikes by locking them out and bringing in cheaper replacement labor or relocating altogether. As Lynn Nottage and her assistant began to research struggling cities, The New York Times published a story naming Reading, Pennsylvania, once a thriving industrial giant, as number one on the Census Bureau’s poverty list, with the largest share of its residents living in poverty. Nottage and her assistant reached out to Reading residents – “local historians, community organizers, business owners, artists, politicians, educators, parole officers, police officers, students, homeless men and women, drug addicts, social workers, gardeners and the community at large” to talk about their city. The playwright pursued her research with the mantra “replace judgment with curiosity.” Nottage expected resistance; she expected to be in Reading for two weeks. She discovered a community that felt invisible to business leaders and politicians and wanted to be seen and heard. When asked to describe their city, people answered her in the past tense, “Reading was…” Lynn Nottage’s conversations and research continued for over two and a half years. Determined to not be a carpetbagger simply leaving and taking away the community’s stories, Nottage worked closely with the city to devise an artwork that would stay in Reading with the mission of bringing a fractured community into dialogue with one another. The original production of Sweat returned to Reading in July 2017 with the performance as a component of a site-specific multimedia project created by Nottage with members of the community, Market Road Films, Labyrinth Theater Company, and Project&. The installation, which fused live performance and visual media, explored not only the decline but the rebirth of a community: This is Reading. Alexandra Harbold, Dramaturg
