Love, Loss, & What I Wore

Love, Loss and What I Wore is an award-winning play by Nora and Delia Ephron (based on the book by Ilene Beckerman) that became the second longest-running show at the Westside Theater in NYC in 2010. It is structured as a series of monologues and short interludes using a rotating cast of five women playing multiple roles. Clothing, specific pieces or entire outfits, are powerful, evocative memory markers of where we were, who we were with, and what we were feeling at the time. It is a beautiful comedy of errors, triumphs, and growing pains, interwoven with poignant life markers shared with humor and self-awareness. In 2010, it won both a Drama Desk Award and an Audience Award for Favorite New Off-Broadway Play.

Critical Review: “The Ephrons have added on to Beckerman’s closet, collecting stories by other women and fashioning these confessions into an evening of monologues…[They] understand how powerfully our closets speak to us, how they can mock, affirm, inspire…Clothes are also time capsules that hold our past identities, previous body shapes, and hopes seized or abandoned…For millions of women, clothes aren’t just “cover,” as one character puts it, they’re a gateway drug to a more serious addiction: the pursuit of a self (or selves) imagined but not yet achieved.” — The Los Angeles Times‍
