Synopsis

This evocative and moving play features monologues and ensemble pieces about women, clothes and memory.

Based on the bestselling book by Ilene Beckerman, the show covers important subjects – mothers, prom dresses, mothers, buying bras, mothers, hating purses and why we only wear black.

Press Reviews

"The show is a scrapbook of stories about unfortunate prom dresses, the traumatic lighting in fitting rooms, high heels, short skirts and the existential state of having nothing to wear. Accessorizing these tales, which are mostly comic but often sad or sentimental too, are the mothers who disapprove, the men who disappear, the sisters who’ve got your back."

— Charles Isherwood, The New York Times

"There’s a surprising resonance to the piece that very likely transcends gender, though only rarely have gender differences been made so clear."

— Hollywood Reporter
