The Cutting of the Cloth: Oberon Modern Plays

Autor Michael Hastings
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 mar 2015
The work-room of a Savile Row tailors, 1953. Two master craftsmen at daggers drawn: Polish-born Spijak insists that nothing can beat the excellence of a hand-sewn suit, while Eric uses his machine to work at twice the speed and earn twice the money. Sparks fly as each fights his own corner with biting wit and vicious humour. Into this battleground steps Maurice, a teenager at the very start of his apprenticeship. Will he survive the gruelling training to become a master tailor? Or will he, as Spijak's daughter urges him to, escape?The Cutting of the Cloth, drawn so much from Hastings's youthful experience as an apprentice tailor, has lain in a drawer. Now Two's Company brings it rampaging on to the stage.

He won the Evening Standard Award in 1979 for Gloo Joo, but remains best known for Tom and Viv, his 1984 play about the poet T.S. Eliot and his wife Vivienne Haigh-Wood, first seen at the Royal Court Theatre, adapted into a film, and recently revived at the Almeida Theatre.

Recenzii

The Cutting of the Cloth is a real drama of feeling... a deep sense of real life being lived is evident and all of the characters are deftly drawn... Yes, this feels like Zen and the art of tailoring - real craft, real quality, no rubbish
The real heart of the play lies in its layered exploration of change and craftsmanship... Elegant, detailed premiere
