Wearing her heart on her sleeve while sewing intimates for her clientele, Esther is the talented, proud but shy Black seamstress in the turn-of-the-century New York 1905, who has built a savings for herself making undergarments for both posh Fifth Avenue boudoirs and questionalble bordellos. She plans to open a beauty parlor where Black women will be treated like royalty. Esther earnestly daydreams of new beginnings and romatic possibilities. She embarks on a journey to find love, discovering unexpected friendships that defy race, class and religion. But when an egregious deception cuts short her heartfelt desires, can class, culture and circumstance outmatch the strength of the human spirit? Inspired by a true story, INTIMATE APPAREL is a heart-rendering contemporary work in the style of an enduring classic - from Lynn Nottage, the first female playwright to win two Pulitzers.
