Samira Wiley is transformed in this arresting 2003 play by Pulitzer Prize and Evening Standard Award winner Lynn Nottage, about a black, spinster seamstress sewing lingerie for both wealthy white women and black prostitutes in 1905 New York.
A mainstay of The Handmaid’s Tale and Orange is the New Black, Wiley made her London stage debut in 2022 as the impossibly glamorous 1930s singer Angel in Lynette Linton’s National Theatre production of Pearl Cleage’s Blues for An Alabama Sky.
