Love, Loss and What I Wore by Nora Ephron

Love, Loss and What I Wore is an ode to holding on to all the too-small and unflattering outfits in our wardrobes, because it is these, too, that “spark joy” here by becoming lightning sparks to treasured memories. So bring a hankie and be ready to laugh and cry but above all to have a good night out. There are many heart-stopping moments coupled with comic rejoinders and quick-fire one-liners that strike recognisable chords. It became a big hit and proved that fashion was much more than skin-deep, in the hands of the Ephron sisters at least.īased on Ilene Beckerman’s 1995 memoir of the same name – which takes us from her Brownie uniform to the Diane Von Fürstenberg dress she wore when she met her third husband – the play combines her story with a chorus of women’s voices that speak about everything from their first bras and prom dresses to love, same-sex marriage, motherhood, divorce, grief, rape and cancer. Then, in 2008, she teamed up with her sister, Delia Ephron, to write a play about what other women wore and why. Nora and Delia Ephron's 'Love, Loss, and What I Wore' is a marvelous piece of writing, and the cast - Carol Kane, Rita Wilson, Natasha Lyonne, Tracee Ellis Ross, Caroline Aaron - could. Over the years and alongside her screenwriting successes, the late Nora Ephron wrote personal pieces about fashion, mulling over her love of turtleneck sweaters, the vagaries of getting a manicure in Manhattan and the inside of her Tardis-like handbag in typically wry, observant tones. It is organized as a series of monologues and uses a rotating cast of five principal women. By Nora and Delia Ephron based on the book by Ilene Beckerman Love, Loss, and What I Wore is a play written by Nora and Delia Ephron based on the 1995 book of the same name by Ilene Beckerman.
