In the winner of the 2004 New York Drama Critics Circle and Outer Critics Circle Awards, we follow Esther, a lonely, single African-American woman in 1905 who makes her living sewing beautiful corsets and ladies’ undergarments. There is warm affection between her and the Orthodox Jewish man who sells fabrics to her, but any relationship between them is completely forbidden. Esther eventually embarks on a letter-writing relationship with a mysterious suitor who moves to New York. They embark on an unhappy marriage, leading Esther to realize that only her self-reliance and certainty of her own worth will see her through life’s challenges.

In the piece de resistance, they plan to cover the room in meat and honey so Kyle will be mauled by a bear. Through this night of emotional trials and ridiculous theatrics, Nan and Kyle are both freed from their past in this smart, dark revenge comedy.
