‘The Tailor of Inverness’ – Dogstar Theatre

'The Tailor of Inverness' - Dogstar Theatre

I come from the Soviets and the Nazis. I come from a farm, from the forests and fields of green Ukraine, from the ruins of Germany, from the beaches of the Adriatic, from the grimy streets of Glasgow and the cool air of Inverness. Words, music, dance and video combine to tell the moving story of this ordinary man caught by the murderous tides of the Second World War. Performed by one of Scotland’s leading actors, two of Scotland’s best traditional musicians - Gavin Marwick and Jonny Hardie on fiddles - and directed by the acclaimed Ben Harrison of Grid Iron. A chance to see one of the outstanding productions from the 2008 Edinburgh Festival Fringe; winner Scotsman Fringe First; Holden Theatre Award, Adelaide, Australia and Stage Award for Best Solo Performer. ‘a beautifully realized tale of the reality of survival in war-torn Eastern Europe…Matthew Zajac’s moving performance is a triumph of evocative staging and storytelling’ Katie Toms, The Observer ‘in Ben Harrison’s graceful production, the telling of the tale is both strongly theatrical and visually compelling, with subtle use of light and sound, video and still images, and the wonderful live fiddle music of Gavin Marwick’ Joyce McMillan The Scotsman
