The Tailor in Sweden, Denmark & Ireland - Spring 2013

1/4/2013

 
"It's the best one-man show I have ever seen."  Terry Hands, Artistic Director Clwyd Theatr Cymru

“This is a towering piece of work with a glorious performance by the author.”  Emer O’Kelly Sunday Independent

“…compelling…fascinating…triumphant…” Colette Sheridan Irish Examiner

"Art can bare its essence and express moments which prove that theatre is indispensable as a meeting place, a guarantee of enchantment and of the human spirit. Precisely this wonder occurs when Matthew Zajac.... takes to the stage...  Matthew Zajac presents, with expressive support from violinist Jonny Hardie, a drama of Europe’s dark history through the destiny of one man, his father Mateusz." 
Pia Huss, Dagens Nyheter Sweden 

Some audience reaction

"Just back from tonight's performance of The Tailor of Inverness in the Pavilion 
Theatre, Dun Laoghaire, Dublin.  Absolutely excellent.  Matthew 
Zajac's performance was incredible.  Wish I could go again tomorrow."  
Kevin Hanrahan - Facebook post on Dogstar page

"Your performance was the best I have seen for many years.  Indeed, the wrong man 
got the Oscar on Sunday night !  My wife and I left the theatre almost 
stunned."  Frank Kennedy, Midleton, Co. Cork - letter

 "I saw the first night in Malmö, and it was wonderful. I think there were a lot of 
people there who seldom or never go to the theatre, and loads were in the pub 
raving about it afterwards. I heard it was impossible to get a ticket for the 
2nd night because word-of-mouth had entirely filled the place up.”  
Philip Clover, Malmo

“Thank you very much for a fantastic play from Dogstar Theatre Company!  It was a 
performance that touched us deeply, and we think that it is wonderful that our 
local theatre had an eye on such a great play – it really was an international 
wonder – unbelievable experience in our little town.” Kurt& Hanne 
Larsen, Published in Allerød Lokalavisen, Local Newspaper, Allerød, Copenhagen 
Denmark. 


We have now completed our 
38-performance tour of The Tailor of Inverness in Denmark, Sweden, Wales and 
Ireland, including a warm-up gig at Broughton High School Edinburgh. As you can 
see from the responses above, the tour was a great success.  The show 
received many standing ovations and we are hoping to return to these 
countries.  The Scandinavian dates were set up by Dogstar with Mungo Park Arts 
Centre
, Allerod, Copenhagen, while the Irish Tour was 
promoted by Richard Ryan Promotions of Dublin.  Our 
sincere thanks to these two organisations for their fantastic support.
