Synopsis

Adapted from Ilene Beckerman’s memoir of the same name, Love, Loss and What I Wore is a collection of monologues centred around clothing and the female experience. This low-tech show is a great choice for small theatre spaces and is an excellent feature for strong actors. Typically performed with a cast of 5 women, actors will portray almost 30 characters as they tell stories of pivotal moments in their lives framed through the lens of the clothing they wore.
