Description
Lynn Nottage's Intimate Apparel is a thoughtful and affecting new play that explores the complexities of race, gender, culture, and history. With seamless elegance, it tells the story of a proud and shy seamstress who creates exquisite lingerie for both high-end and low-end clients, revealing the startling simplicity of desire. In Fabulation, Nottage reimagines this character as a PR-diva who spirals down from her Manhattan office to her roots in Brooklyn, achieving a satisfying end of self-discovery. Through these two companion pieces, Nottage spans 100 years in the lives of African American women, offering a nuanced exploration of the human experience. Nottage's plays are marked by their exceptional craftsmanship and social insight, making her a gifted playwright. This edition of Intimate Apparel is a valuable addition to any drama collection.
