INTIMATE APPARELBy Lynn Nottage
Directed by Sarah May
January 24-February 16, 2020
Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Play.
New York circa 1905 is a time and place where rigid social divides along the lines of race, religion, and class exist alongside a burgeoning population of immigrants from abroad and people from all over the U.S., who have moved to the city to seek their fortunes, bringing diversity, excitement, and change. Esther Mills, a skilled African-American seamstress, is able to navigate this changing, dangerous world with her needle and thread, as her talents are much in demand.
" 'Intimate Apparel is, by turns, beautiful and tragic, hopeful and heartbreaking.' " -DC Metro.
