Two River Theater Company Presents Intimate Apparel
August 31, 2010 – 5:13 pm | No Comment

By Lynn Nottage
Directed by Seret Scott

September 21 – October 10, 2010

Red Bank, NJTwo River Theater Co. is proud to present Intimate Apparel, a powerful and moving play by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage, directed by Seret Scott.

Set in New York, at the turn of the last century, Intimate Apparel follows Esther, an African-American seamstress, who crafts beautiful lingerie for a range of clients, from the ladies of the Upper East Side, to the prostitutes of the infamous Tenderloin district. With the fabric she uses, Esther weaves exquisite garments for her clients, and with the vivid characters that inhabit the story, Nottage crafts a beautiful tale of self-discovery, acceptance, and independence.

Says the production’s director, Seret Scott: “Lynn Nottage weaves beautifully complex stories about…beautiful, complex, challenging people.  People who live in their mistakes, in their heartaches and victories, people who live with dignity, humor, and constant discovery.”

“I’m thrilled that we’re starting this season with Lynn Nottage’s Intimate Apparel. Lynn is a celebrated playwright who’s crafted a universal and beautiful story about an extraordinary time in New York’s immigrant history,” adds Artistic Director John Dias. “We’ve gathered a great team of artists led by talented director Seret Scott. I’m excited to watch these powerful characters take shape under Seret’s deft hand and to share this work with our audience.”

Two River is thrilled to welcome back cast member Matthew Boston (What the Butler Saw), and introduce Two River audiences to Elain GrahamNikiya MathisCurtis McClarinStacey Sargeant, and Amy Lynn Stewart.

Intimate Apparel begins previews on Tuesday, September 21, opens Saturday, September 25, and runs through Sunday, October 10. Read the full story »
