November’s book club went to see the play “Love, Loss and What I Wore,” on November 20th. The play is based on the memoir of Ilene Beckerman who captured certain crucial moments in her life by what she wore. Nora and Delia Ephron took Beckerman’s work and added additional stories to create a view of a well-lived life.
The actresses sit in front of the audience and read/act out these short vignettes all dressed in black. The set allows for a certain closeness between the cast and the audience. Clothes are like music, we remember events in our lives with them, a bond almost.
We thoroughly enjoyed the play, it pulls on your heartstrings one moment, and the next you’re out-loud laughing. Grab a few friends and go see it!
Our ladies-day out at the theater.
After the play we ate a late lunch.
