Tailors Requiem

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Gavin Quinn 

  • Setting

    The action takes place in the work room of the Master Tailor.

  • Synopsis

    It is the master's dream to create the perfect Tailor School to hand down and impart his craft. In teaching his apprentices - Bartok, Number and Agata - he neglects all other aspects of their education, both mentally and morally, so that, in a conventional sense, they grow up wild or blinkered. This almost silent play expresses the relationships of the four equal protagonists locked in their own world.
