This one was for work, not pleasure! #IntimateApparel A play based on the great grandmother of #LynnNottage Esther a black New York seamstress loves Mr Marks a jewish haberdasher. Due to the moral codes of the time both know the relationship is doomed. Esther ends up marrying George, a Caribbean labourer who wooed her through a series of letters. After spending all Esther's savings on gambling and prostitutes he leaves her penniless and pregnant. A great play brought to life by an excellent cast

Enjoyed speaking with 2-time Pulitzer Prize winning playwright #LynnNottage for this insightful conversation for the @sfchronicle in advance of #Clydes at Berkeley Repertory Theatre. The show opens Jan. 25. So many pearls of wisdom about the process of one of our greatest living playwrights. #BerkeleyRep https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/theater/why-lynn-nottage-embraces-complex-conflicted-characters

"To say that #LynnNottage is a modern-day superhero of the American stage is an understatement. She is one of the best and brightest...She is why so many #artists, after playing or reading her words, grow to become the creatives we know and love today. She excites, invites and ignites with her #writing...we are all the better for it." —#UzoAduba on #playwright Lynn Nottage https://broadwaynews.com/2022/12/21/uzo-aduba-on-lynn-nottages-everlasting-power-on-broadway/

#LynnNottage’s #play “Clyde’s” at ⁦‪the #MarkTaperForum in #LosAngeles‬⁩ is so #food intensive that they had to add a week of rehearsal. “Actors have to learn knife skills. Not only that, but the characters’ knife skills have to improve over the course of the play.” #theatre #plays #acting https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2022-12-03/best-sandwiches-pulitzer-lynn-nottage-interview-clydes
