Intimate Apparel

Donmar Warehouse 20 June-9 August ‘25

"Intimate Apparel is one of the best plays I have seen in 28 years as the Observer’s theatre critic...Designer Alex Berry creates spectacular corsets with ruffles at the breast, long dangling cords, and crisscross laces to ensure wasp waists. The women circle the stage in them as if on a merry-go-round.”

- Susannah Clapp, The Guardian

"The production is riveting in its intimate study of the minutiae of women’s lives, and in exploring what constitutes value, self-worth, acceptance, family, and love, with various threads neatly tied up in a powerful second half. This is a perfectly crafted show: not a stitch wasted.”

- Marianka Swain, London Theatre
