Intimate Apparel is set in the year of 1905 however the season is not provided within the text. The passage of time can be determined throughout the play between the scene and act. The passage of time is briefly mentioned within George’s letters to Esther. For example, one can infer that the passage of time between act 1 scene 1 and scene is 2 months because within the first few lines of George’s second letter, he states “I received your letter. Its two months in the coming…” Although one could determine the time within the text, the hour of day for each scene nor act cannot be determined. Being that time is not a key feature within the text, it can be subtly represented on stage through lighting changes to represent the transition from day to night as well as clothing to represent the changes is season, if there are any changes at all. These features could help the audience understand the time of day as well as the year of the play without the overbearing features of voice overs or clocks.…

I grew up in a very open household where it was encouraged to speak my mind and challenge my parents in a respectful manner.

Her father wanted her to marry a Muslim man by the age of 22 which contradicted her feminism. She was unable to tell her father that she was dating a white man or that she had sexual feelings towards the same gender because of his traditional viewpoints. On page 24, Almas states that her “Mom and Dad had inadvertently laid the foundations for [her] to…
