As someone who does not consider themselves an avid reader, Lynn Nottage has always been able to hold my attention with her writing. The first play I read by her was “Ruined” a heartbreaking and captivating story of women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo during a civil war. My relationship with The Public is also a little deeper than the average patron because I was required to do a research project on it for a design class. “Sweat” seems to almost be written for Pittsburgh due to the environment of the play. Steel is a big proponent in the play and, of course, Pittsburgh’s history was built on steel. This is also a very clever move by The Public’s new artistic director who is also the first woman to hold the position. I think we are going to see a lot more plays from female playwrights in future seasons at The Public Theatre.
