"As “Sweat” drives to its disturbing climax with the headlong speed of a train reeling out of control, you may feel that you know where it’s going. And, yes, the play offers a grim picture of how lives buffeted by economic change can slide into desperation. But Ms. Nottage springs a dark surprise that shook me up once again, even though I knew it was coming."-NY Times Review, Charles Isherwood
