Show Info | After recent engagements in Babylon village, EastLine Theatre will return to the town of Babylon with Intimate Apparel. Based on the real life of her great-grandmother, Lynn Nottage’s play follows talented seamstress Esther and her dream for a better life in 1905 New York City. Although she sews intricate ladies’ undergarments for the affluent, she dreams of sewing her own wedding trousseau. Through her work she forms a delicate, if forbidden relationship with the Orthodox Jewish man who sells her fabric. |
