A 2003 play by Lynn Nottage. The two-act play is set in New York in 1905 and follows Esther, a 35-year-old black seamstress who specializes in creating unmentionables for clients ranging from the wealthy Mrs. Van Buren to the prostitute Mayme, in her pursuit of her dreams and possibly an escape from spinsterhood.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

The Beard: Considering Mrs. Van Buren's comments about her husband losing interest in sex, they may be acting as this for each other without knowing it. Their lack of success in conceiving a child when they do have sex may be making both members of the couple particularly anxious about maintaining this trope.

Beautiful All Along: When George tells her she isn't beautiful enough to be taken seriously as the owner of a beauty parlor, Esther tries to invoke this trope by putting on lipstick, stripping down to her corset, and striking a sexy pose on the bed. Subverted when George cruelly mocks her for this.

Arranged Marriage: Mr. Marks was supposed to be in one of these. Esther doesn't understand the custom, which is ironic because her own marriage will be to a man she's never met who only wants to marry her for her money.

Against My Religion: Accidental physical contact with Esther would be this for Mr. Marks.
