“Call me selfish… but remember, one of us has to be left standing to fight.”  Internationales Theater Frankfurt and Shakespeare Frankfurt kicks off its 2022-23 season, “Us and Them”, with Lynn Nottage’s extraordinary Pulitzer Prize-winning play Sweat, about the breakdown in fraternity and the rise in violence and racism that economic hardship brings about.

Nottage conducted extensive interviews with the residents of Reading, Pennsylvania, to create this “tale of friends pitted against each other by big business and the present and poignant decline of the American Dream”.
