The appealing cast (Barbara Figgins, Lydia Berger Gray, and Hayley Rice), however, is well suited and keep things lively. The script for “Love, Loss and What I Wore” focuses more on “Loss” and “What I Wore” while more genuine “Love” could have given the play a stronger heartbeat. The feeling of the set matches the tone of the play, devoid of cheap frills and not elegant high fashion. Lambert’s handsome set, mostly brown and tan with four solidly built dressing rooms and partial doors, works well. Using half life-sized colored drawings of different outfits, each of the five characters walks down her memory lane relaying her thoughts, feelings and perspective on the moments spent during the time she wore a particular piece of clothing. the Ephron Sisters and a book by Ilene Beckerman.
And in between we hear a script that only fashionistas could write…. It runs the gamut from silly little comments to a heart-wrenching closing monologue of a life and death matter. “Love, Loss, and What I Wore” offers an extremely vast array of topics, each triggered by an article of clothing from the characters’ past.
