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.
