The smoothness of the finest white satin. The warm black skin of her husband. A stash of savings sewn into a hem. These are some of the things that Esther, an African-American seamstress filled with longing in playwright Lynn Nottage\u2019s Intimate Apparel,<\/em> can feel under her fingertips but is not meant to keep for her own.<\/p>\n

Opening Thursday, December 1, and continuing through Dececember 10 at Chapman University\u2019s Waltmar Theatre, the play set in 1905 New York follows six characters as they navigate a changed world. Some, like Esther, are the descendants of slaves. Others are immigrants. One is privileged. The one thing they have in common is that the yearnings of their hearts go unfulfilled.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a devastating play,\u201d says visiting director Jaye Austin Williams, Ph.D., an assistant professor of theatre arts at Cal State Long Beach. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of terrible beauty in the play, a lot of compelling human complexity. And the play opens a space, which is what Nottage does all the time, to contemplate the implications of being human.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chelsea Davis \u201917 and Tommie Russell \u201918 portray Esther and George in Chapman University\u2019s production of Intimate Apparel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The production marks the first time Chapman has staged the work of Nottage, an acclaimed playwright who has won not only a Pulitzer Prize for drama but also a MacArthur Foundation \u201cgenius grant\u201d and a Guggenheim Fellowship. It also serves as a celebration of the publication earlier this year of A Critical Companion to Lynn Nottage<\/em>, an anthology edited by Jocelyn L. Buckner<\/a>, Ph.D., an assistant professor in Chapman\u2019s Department of Theatre<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cMy research is in representations of gender, race, class and sexuality in performance,\u201d says Buckner, who was attending another of Nottage\u2019s plays when she identified the lack of scholarship about the playwright\u2019s works. \u201cLynn Nottage is one of the leading voices of American theatre today, and it is time to honor and celebrate her by expanding the critical conversation surrounding her contributions to the dramatic canon,\u201d Buckner says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first time we\u2019ve produced her work at Chapman, and that\u2019s in part because the department has really recommitted itself in the past five years to telling diverse stories. We have a growing diverse student population in the department, so we\u2019re very excited to be able to tell a story in a way that we haven\u2019t really before.\u201d With four black characters, \u201cthis is not a play you could cast without African-American actors,\u201d Buckner says.<\/p>\n

Chelsea Davis \u201917, a screen acting major who also has appeared in Wash & Dry<\/em> and RENT<\/em>, stars as Esther, a highly skilled but illiterate seamstress who for 18 years has lived in a boarding house hoping for a husband. All the while, she secretly tucks her mounting savings into the hem of a quilt with a dream of owning a beauty parlor for \u201ccolored ladies,\u201d a place where they too would be pampered.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe just has exquisite instincts,\u201d Williams says of Davis. \u201cShe has a kind of stoicism and inner strength that I think absolutely is Esther to a T.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arianna Behrens \u201920 and Regina Bryant \u201920, two freshmen, adopt a world-weariness despite their youth to play Mayme, a prostitute who is Esther\u2019s customer and friend but unwittingly crosses her, and Mrs. Dickson, the widowed owner of the boarding house. Jeremy Howard \u201917 is Mr. Marks, an Orthodox Jewish fabric merchant with whom Esther feels a romantic but impossible connection. Rachel Gallagher \u201919 is Mrs. Van Buren, a wealthy white woman struggling with infertility who buys the same pieces of intimate apparel Esther makes for Mayme but is indifferent to her absent husband. And Tommie Russell \u201918 is George, the Barbadian immigrant who woos Esther sight unseen while digging the Panama Canal, a courtship reminiscent of Cyrano de Bergerac because neither would-be lover pens any of the letters themselves.<\/p>\n

It is the figure of George, a young laborer with hopes of his own, who in some ways reminds us most that this is no simple period piece but one that resonates in the 21st<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not some no-count brother who just messes up on his woman. It\u2019s much uglier than that,\u201d says Williams, who first met Nottage while working as an assistant director on the world premiere of the playwright\u2019s Crumbs From the Table of Joy<\/em> in 1995 and also contributed a chapter to Buckner\u2019s book. \u201cTheir marriage starts to crumble under the press of her trying to stitch together a life for herself, to stitch together their piece of the \u2018American Dream.\u2019 The problem with this, as a lot of ethnographers and sociologists and other theorists discovered, is the pressures of the \u2018American Dream.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see it in the modern moment, like in the late 20th<\/sup> and 21st<\/sup>century. They did a study where they saw all these young black couples, they would go through these rituals. Young girl\u2019s pregnant, they would start going through the ritual of buying these baby things. Then shortly thereafter, the young black men would bounce out of that relationship. Not because they didn\u2019t enjoy or love the person, but because they were under the press of a set of structures they didn\u2019t have the capacity to maintain. Like, \u2018I can\u2019t be a head of household. I can\u2019t get a job.\u2019 And that\u2019s the predicament that George has in 1905.\u201d<\/p>\n
