Sweat tackles themes of economic decline and racial tensions and was added to the A-Level Curriculum in 2022. It is a 2014 play by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Lynn Nottage, set in the real-life city of Reading, Pennsylvania, and focuses on a fictionalized working-class community of laborers.

In this recording, you will hear from the Artistic Director of the Bush Theatre Lynette Linton, who directed Sweat at the Donmar in 2019. Dr Andrew Green (Lecturer at Brunel University) discusses key themes, characterisation and settings of the play with Lynette. They will also answer teacher/student questions and look at ways of teaching the text.
