Lavin and Najimy Star In Ephron Reading At Guild Hall

The Guild Hall in East Hampton will present a staged Reading of "LOVE, LOSS, AND WHAT I WORE" by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron, starring Linda Lavin and Kathy Najimy. The play is based on the book by Ilene Beckerman and directed by Karen Carpenter. The cast will also include Sara Chase, and Karyn Quakenbush. The reading will take place on Saturday, August 2nd at 8PM.

Ilene Beckerman has found a way to articulate something all women know: that our memories are often tied to our favorite clothes. In her original and eloquent book, Gingy, as Ilene is called, tells the story of her life through the clothes she wore. From her Brownie uniform to her Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress, Gingy offers a closet full of memories. She remembers her prom dresses, her wedding dresses, and her starting-over-her-new-life dresses. Gingy is Everywoman. She's a wise old friend who's survived divorce, the death of a child, the quirks of friends and family, crushes and heartbreak and bursts of joy and happiness. Like all of us, she likes to look nice while she's pursuing happiness. In Love, Loss, and What I Wore, Gingy invites us to reflect on our own lives and remember what we wore.
