Photo Flash: 6th Street Playhouse's INTIMATE APPAREL

6th Street Playhouse presents "Intimate Apparel," by Lynn Nottage. Set in 1905, this moving story follows Esther, a talented, lonely, unmarried African American seamstress who creates intimate apparel for women of New York society and prostitutes.

Esther's desire for love, affection and a better life weaves her into the complicated pattern of early 20th century society where she finds The Common thread that unites and divides.

"Intimate Apparel" received the 2004 New York Drama Critics Circle and the Outer Critics Circle Awards.

Directed by Bronwen Shears

"The play offers poignant commentary on an era when the cut and color of one's dress-and of course, skin-determined whom one could and could not marry, sleep with, even talk to in public." -Variety
