Intimate Apparel by Lynn Nottage

Intimate Apparel by Lynn Nottage

In 1905 New York City, Esther, an African-American seamstress, is in great demand for the intimate apparel she creates for clients who range from wealthy white patrons to prostitutes. Though leading a life that provides joy to so many, she remains lonely, longing for a husband and a future. Through a mutual acquaintance, she begins a correspondence with a Caribbean man named George, and soon he persuades her that they should marry, sight unseen. However, Esther's heart is drawn to the Hasidic shopkeeper from whom she buys cloth, and his heart to hers. When George arrives in the city, Esther is hit with the reality of the situation and she is forced to face a future that she is truly unprepared for. Told with grace and delicacy by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage, Intimate Apparel presents the troubles of the heart in all their glory.
