Intimate Apparel

Was Good

I have a slightly negative view of this play because I recently saw it performed horribly. It does not have a lot of action, but it is not a bad script, it just needs to be performed and directed well.This play is centers around an African-America woman in her thirties in the early 1900s. She is a seamstress and sews under garments for well off ladies in New york.This is a play that makes you think about the intricacies of relationships. All of the characters want what they can't have and it creates tension that builds and builds throughout the play.There is a some sexual content and lesbian curiosity, but it is not over the top and it furthers the story.It is a pretty good play and I would recommend it and other plays by this author. I have read two of her plays and she creates wonderful worlds full of complex characters.

The book was everything that was detailed in remarks. Nicely wrapped.

lent this to a friend and she never returned it..........so I bought another copy.....All of Lynn Nottage's plays are awesome and thought provoking, if you get to see them on stage or act in one yourself that's even better.

I had to read this play, along with 16 others for a college course. And this one stood out from the rest in ways I cannot describe. This play adddresses gender issues in a way I commend. But I lament its missed oppurtunity addressing race issues. It is more of a happenstance in this play more than anything. I recommend this play greatly.The service was also incredible with prompt delivery.

All the characters in "Intimate Apparel" are so beautifully depicted in this wonderful story. I would hope to see it portrayed locally at our small community theatre. Ms. Nottage's writing style clearly describes all the characters.

The story was wonderful!!!

Great condition

This is an excellent play by Lynn Nottage. The story of a splinter who sews corsets for women with money who finally finds love for herself (with a twist). I love the way the story seamlessly interweaves between scenes and found it very easy to visualize as I read. I was so impressed with the writing that I immediately bought "Ruined" Lynn Nottage's Pulitzer prize winner, which was also a great read.
