I sure got my money's worth out of this gold ladies dressing robe, AKA "kinky Jesus robe" that I bought in a thrift store five years ago. I've used it in five productions so far, and will no doubt use it again in the second production of SODOM & GOMORRAH: THE ONE MAN SHOW.
In spite of it being a ladies' robe, it was only worn once by a woman on stage, Claire Warden in the world premiere of full-length JULIA & BUDDY, as it was intended, while lounging around her apartment (well technically trapped in her apartment by a faulty door lock while having a panic attack.)
