In 2024, Sydney Theatre Company will mount the Australian premiere of her second Pulitzer winner Sweat, the critically acclaimed slice-of-life masterpiece, starring Australian acting icons Paula Arundell and Lisa McCune.
Set in Reading, Pennsylvania, Sweat tells the story of a group of factory workers trying to keep their heads above water as the American steel industry collapses around them. At the centre of this group are Tracy, Cynthia and Jessie – three old friends who’ve seen each other through everything; births, deaths, marriages and a single workplace for their entire adult lives. When Tracy (McCune) and Cynthia (Arundell) go for the same, long-fought-for promotion, deeply buried tensions begin to boil over into a compelling and touching drama.
Since its premiere, Sweat _has captured audience imaginations in extended runs on both Broadway and the West End. In this new production, Director Zindzi Okenyo (_Is God Is) will create a moving, and absorbing piece featuring a cast of eight incredible actors. Don’t miss your chance to experience this landmark of new American theatre in the intimacy of The Wharf.
