The True Story Behind 'Sweat', Broadway's Award-Winning Working Class Play

Trade talks are still underway in D.C. and the halls of power
around the world, but The Public Theater is bringing manufacturing
and trade debates to the people most impacted by trade action --
the communities of industrial America.  On Sept. 24, New York
City's Public Theater launches its fall tour of the award-winning
play "Sweat" through industrial cities of the Midwest and other
locations to prompt local discussion ahead of the mid-term
elections. In this episode, host Scott Paul, Pulitzer Prize-winning
playwright Lynn Nottage and one of the inspirations of her work,
Dean Showers, discuss the true story behind Nottage's award-winning
play, "Sweat". Learn more about the tour here:
