We are introduced to Stephen Wraysford who becomes immersed in an illicit love affair in the early years of the 20th century.

“LOVE, LOSS AND WHAT I WORE”

by Nora Ephron & Della Ephron
from the book by Ilene Beckerman
directed by HTC’s Catherine Christensen

Performed at Heidelberg Theatre, 36 Turnham Ave, Rosanna, Melbourne from 13 February – 28 February, 2026……….by arrangement with Creative Artists Agency.

As Nora Ephron wrote the introduction to Ilene Beckerman’s novel in 1995, she immediately identified the dramatic possibilities of the book’s stories. It “is not about fashion; it is about what clothes really are to us, those moments when we are constantly trying to find our identity through them”. Not surprisingly, the play has been produced over six continents and delivered numerous awards to the author.
