Details
This series of stories focuses on women's relationships using wardrobe as a time capsule of their lives and is IDEAL for a ladies night out with all your BFFS! Sister playwrights Nora and Delia Ephron have written a sketchbook of characters for an ensemble of five female actors to portray in witty, fast-paced monologues. Clothing is a perfect entry point for women’s stories. From Madonna’s breast cones to those puzzling sleeveless turtlenecks of the 1970s to today’s take-charge boots, what women wear has a great deal to do with what they want, how they think of themselves and how others see them. The Ephrons have chosen an ideal metaphor, but they wield it only to make us feel more comfortable facing our flaws. The play is designed to forge a strong connection between actors and audience. Humor onstage can almost always build a bond, but confessional humor comes close to a blood pact. From the writing team that brought you Sleepless in Seattle and When Harry Met Sally and based on the book by Ilene Beckerman this critically acclaimed play is "so funny and so powerful; so dear and sweet; so remindful of our female wiles, our worries, our insecurities, our remembrances of mother, father, sisters, brothers, lovers—I think it can't miss." —WowOwow.com #theatre #theater #ladiesnightout #BFFs
