A moving portrait of resilience
In turn-of-the-century New York, Esther, a skilled African American seamstress, stitches beautiful undergarments for women whose glamorous lives she glimpses only in passing. After receiving an eloquent note from a charming stranger, her deep longing to be married is kindled, and she embarks on a long-distance courtship. Yet the man behind the letters is not whom she expects, and Esther is forced into a new reality far from what she imagined. Set against a city shaped by divisions of class, race and religion, this achingly beautiful drama from two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage reveals the strength of claiming one’s own self-worth.
