Intimate Apparel (2024)
Regional, Play
Be seduced by the story of Esther, a Black seamstress in 1905 New York seeking love and companionship. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage returns to Asolo Rep with INTIMATE APPAREL, a searing, sensual, and powerful story of forbidden romance. Esther spends her days sewing corsets for other women but hasn't found love for herself. When she receives a letter from a Barbadian man working on the Panama Canal, Esther kindles an exchange that leads to marriage with a stranger, even while her heart is drawn to a Jewish shop owner who's promised to another woman. Nottage's lyrical and heart wrenching play is a modern classic about the power of human connection.
