Love, Loss, and What I Wore

/

Seattle Premiere

Love, Loss, and What I Wore by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron is based on the surprise hit book by Ilene Beckerman. The play begins as Gingy (representing Beckerman) describes herself as an ordinary person who was bored one day and began to sketch dresses she had owned. She discovered that during many important events in her life she vividly recalled what she’d worn. She worked up this idea and sent copies to her family and a couple of best friends. One of those friends sent it to a publisher where the largely female staff circulated it among themselves and added post-it notes of their own recollections. In 1995 the publisher gave the book a chance

For those of us who have been around the tech revolution for more than 25 years and are perhaps married to the first generation of “geeks” it was nothing short of therapeutic laughter.

Laughter Unlimited at the Schmee

One sign of mental health for both individuals and societies is the ability to laugh at themselves. It shows a healthy acceptance of one’s flaws and strengths as well as a healthy acceptance of reality. In Seattle, it helps all of us deal with the smugness, the Republican driven city council agenda disguised as bleeding heart liberalism, enlightened diet of the month, wacked-out theories of child-rearing, alternative this, alternative that and all the other agendas floating around Seattle.

Whodunnit on the Set of 50’s B Movie Set

When a classic Agatha Christie plot combines with a spoof of a 1950’s B movie, the result is hilariously funny. Attack of the Killer Murder…of Death, an original script by Wayne Rawley, at Theater Schmeater, was all those things.
