Intimate Apparel
Esther, a gifted Black seamstress in 1905 New York City, lives in a boarding house for women, where she makes a good living sewing intimate apparel (and keeping intimate secrets) for her clients. As she saves for the kind of future with a husband and family that she can’t have with the Hasidic shopkeeper who has captured her heart, she begins a deeply personal correspondence with a mysterious suitor laboring on the Panama Canal.

Steeped in evocative historical detail, Intimate Apparel delves into the inner lives of characters in search of connection.

Written by Lynn Nottage
Directed by Judith Moreland
