Cape May Stage: Love, Loss & What I Wore

Written by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron, and based on Ilene Beckerman’s bestselling book, this tender and witty play weaves together monologues and ensemble pieces to explore the deep connections between clothing and memory, touching on themes like mothers, prom dresses, bras, purses, and the timeless appeal of black clothing. Through a series of humorous and heartfelt stories, Love, Loss, and What I Wore delves into the universal experiences of women’s lives, marked by milestones, heartbreaks, and triumphs, all told through the lens of fashion. 

Written by Delia Ephron and Nora Ephron and directed by Penny Bergman.
