We truly enjoyed the play. Everything worked out beautifully. The Mark Taper is such a wonderful theater. Did not know what or where section " A" was but had no problems as the seats were great. Looking forward to using the services again.Written on Aug 16 2004

Description
Intimate Apparel takes place at the dawn of the 20th century, when opportunities for African-American women are in short supply. But 35-year-old Esther (played by Tony and Drama Desk Award winner Viola Davis) has a gift for sewing exquisite lingerie. Her creations are worn by Park Avenue socialites and downtown prostitutes alike, and offer her a rare life of independence.
Still, she is lonely and risks it all to wed a Caribbean stranger whom she knows only through a romantic exchange of letters. When she realizes that he may not be the same person who wrote those impassioned thoughts, Esther must answer difficult questions about her own identity, about tradition, and about a woman's place in the world.
