Lucy Lewis loves men, being single, and playing the field; she is a successful career woman and a &#8220;fast girl.&#8221; Her neighbor Abigail McBride seeks a suitable husband and, in her mid-thirties, is definitely desperate, declaring that she realized, too late, that &#8220;high standards and loneliness are one and the same thing.&#8221; Lucy&#8217;s mother Mitzi comes to town. Her goal: to convince Lucy that she has GOT to settle down before it&#8217;s too late, and she sends over Lucy&#8217;s ex-boyfriend Sidney to seal the deal. In one of the funniest second acts in theater history, Lucy pretends to cook for Sidney and be a &#8220;good girl&#8221; to show him how ridiculous it is; but the charade backfires. Meanwhile, her boytoy-of-the-minute keeps turning up, never suspecting the hornet&#8217;s nest he is strolling into.<em>Fast Girls<\/em>\u00a0has been produced all over the world, translated into several languages, and won the Montreal eqivalent of a Tony Award (in French).

Thereafter, in a series of brilliantly theatrical and wildly hilarious scenes, the saga of Daisy&#8217;s struggle to establish his identity continues, despite his parents&#8217; growing obliviousness. At the outset there is a zany nanny who gives him a lethal toy to play with; then the small problem of Daisy&#8217;s penchant, as a toddler, for throwing himself in front of buses; then his bizarre problems in school; and, finally, the sessions with his analyst which enable him, at last, to accept his maleness and stop wearing dresses. In the end the play comes full circles as the former Daisy and his young bride fondly regard their own baby\u2014forgiving of the past but determined not to repeat its calamitous mistakes.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:600px;max-height:350px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Sj27k5EkIBk?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><br><p><a class=\"ps-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dramatists.com\/cgi-bin\/db\/single.asp?key=1216\" target=\"_blank\">Find the play here<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-one-full fusion-layout-column fusion-column-last fusion-spacing-yes section-body-post\" style=\"margin-top:;margin-bottom:;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\"><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>Intimate Apparel\u00a0<\/em>by\u00a0Lynn Nottage (Drama)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<br><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>ABOUT THE PLAY: <\/strong>The time is 1905, the place New York City, where Esther, a black seamstress, lives in a boarding house for women and sews intimate apparel for clients who range from wealthy white patrons to prostitutes. Her skills and discretion are much in demand, and she has managed to stuff a goodly sum of money into her quilt over the years. One by one, the other denizens of the boarding house marry and move away, but Esther remains, lonely and longing for a husband and a future. Her plan is to find the right man and use the money she&#8217;s saved to open a beauty parlor where black women will be treated as royally as the white women she sews for. By way of a mutual acquaintance, she begins to receive beautiful letters from a lonesome Caribbean man named George who is working on the Panama Canal. Being illiterate, Esther has one of her patrons respond to the letters, and over time the correspondence becomes increasingly intimate until George persuades her that they should marry, sight unseen. Meanwhile, Esther&#8217;s heart seems to lie with the Hasidic shopkeeper from whom she buys cloth, and his heart with her, but the impossibility of the match is obvious to them both, and Esther consents to marry George. When George arrives in New York, however, he turns out not to be the man his letters painted him to be, and he absconds with Esther&#8217;s savings, frittering it away on whores and liquor. Deeply wounded by the betrayal, but somehow unbroken, Esther returns to the boarding house determined to use her gifted hands and her sewing machine to refashion her dreams and make them anew from the whole cloth of her life&#8217;s experiences.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:600px;max-height:350px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C0z8NAgKAYk?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><br><p><a class=\"ps-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dramatists.com\/cgi-bin\/db\/single.asp?key=3444\" target=\"_blank\">Find the play here<\/a><\/p>\n<br><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Looking for more material?
