The University of Texas at Austin Department of Theatre and Dance presents Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Lynn Nottage's tale of romance, ambition, and self-discovery, INTIMATE APPAREL. The production runs thru March 9 at the Oscar G. Brockett Theatre.

Go behind the scenes with director Melissa Maxwell and actor Mykal Monroe as they discuss the production in the video.

It's 1905 in Manhattan. Esther, a gifted seamstress, crafts lingerie for a variety of clientele, including Fifth Avenue socialites and Tenderloin district prostitutes. She dreams of finding a husband and beginning a love-filled marriage. She also longs to open a beauty parlor in Harlem with the money she has quietly saved over the years. Through a series of long distance letters, Esther meets George, and her aspirations appear within reach.

INTIMATE APPAREL is the 2004 winner of the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Play
