November 27 - Reader’s Theater - Nora Efron - ‘Love, Loss and what I wore”
Curtain 7 pm
Love, Loss, and What I Wore is a play written by Nora and Delia Ephron based on the 1995 book of the same name by Ilene Beckerman. It is organized as a series of monologues and uses a rotating cast of five principal women. The subject matter of the monologues includes women's relationships and wardrobes and at times the interaction of the two, using the female wardrobe as a time capsule of a woman's life.
“Illuminates the experience of an entire generation of women . . . This small gem of a book is worthy of a Tiffany box.” --The New York Times Book Review
We performed this play at BSPAC in 2013 to delighted audiences.
