Lynn Nottage's Intimate Apparel is a multi-award-winning play about
the empowerment of a black seamstress in New York City in 1905.
Esther sews exquisite lingerie for clients who range from wealthy
white patrons to prostitutes. She has saved enough to allow her to
dream of one day opening a beauty salon for black women, and at
thirty-five years old, longs for a husband and a future. When she
begins to receive beautiful letters from a lonesome Caribbean man
who is working on the Panama Canal, it looks like life may be about
to take a different course. Intimate Apparel was first produced by
South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa, California, and Centerstage in
Baltimore, Maryland, in 2003, winning the New York Drama Critics'
Circle Award for Best Play and the American Theatre
Critics/Steinberg New Play Award. It received its UK premiere at
the Theatre Royal Bath in 2014 before transferring to Park Theatre,
London, the same year.
