Intimate Apparel by Lynn Nottage Winner of five national awards for best play, including the New York Drama Critics Circle award, Intimate Apparel revolves around the character of Esther, an African-American seamstress living in New York at the beginning of the 20th century who creates beautiful lingerie for society women and prostitutes alike. She falls in love with a Panama Canal laborer who woos her through romantic letters, though she is also admired by the shy Jewish merchant who sells fabrics to her. Nottage, who based the play on the life of her great-grandmother, called it 'a lyrical meditation on one woman's loneliness and desire.' Directed by Molly Murphy, senior directing student in the Division of Theatre.
