A handful of performers from the Donmar Warehouse production of Sweat will join the previously announced Martha Plimpton in reprising their performances in the West End. Performances will run June 7 through July 20 at London’s Gielgud Theatre.
In addition to Plimpton as Tracey, the London company of Lynn Nottage’s Pulitzer-winning play includes Leanne Best as Jessie, Osy Ikhile as Chris, Wil Johnson as Brucie, Stuart McQuarrie as Stan, Clare Perkins as Cynthia, Sule Rimi as Evan, and Sebastian Viveros as Oscar.
