Intimate Apparel & Fabulation: Two Plays
Paperback
Two companion pieces spanning 100 years in the lives of African American women.
Intimate Apparel is about the empowerment of Esther, a proud and shy seamstress in 1905 New York who creates exquisite lingerie for both Fifth Avenue boudoirs and Tenderloin bordellos.
In Fabulation, Nottage reimagines Esther as Undine, the public relations diva of today, who spirals downward from her swanky Manhattan office to her roots back in Brooklyn.
Also available: a single-play edition of Intimate Apparel.
