The Tailor of Inverness is written and performed by Dogstar Theatre Artistic Director Matthew Zajac, inspired by the life of his father, a boy who grew up in Galicia and became a tailor in Inverness. The play tells a story of forced migration, survival, and identity reconstruction across war-torn Europe, the Middle East, and the Soviet Union during the Second World War. Directed by Ben Harrison, the production brings the story to life through music, poetry, storytelling, and projection, with a score by traditional fiddlers Jonny Hardie and Gavin Marwick, and design by Ali Maclaurin. Originally premiered at the 2008 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the show won a Scotsman Fringe First and has since played to audiences globally in cities including New York, Adelaide, Malmo, and Berlin.
