Lynn Nottage’s play ‘Sweat,’ playing in Walnut Creek, focuses on factory employees in a struggling blue collar town.
There’s a lot of humor in Lynn Nottage’s “Sweat,” but it packs a truly devastating wallop, and Center Repertory Company’s production at Walnut Creek’s Lesher Center for the Arts doesn’t pull any punches.
This January, Berkeley Rep staged “Clyde’s,” which isn’t a sequel per se but features one of the characters from “Sweat,” the first time there’s been that kind of overlap between any of Nottage’s plays. “Clyde’s” was named by American Theatre magazine as the most produced play in U.S. theaters this season, and “Sweat” was the fifth most produced in the same period.
Cathleen Riddley is palpably torn in several directions as Cynthia, a factory worker aiming to become a manager. Fun-loving with her friends, she’s also struggling with terrible workplace changes and a difficult breakup with her husband, Brucie.
