The Tailor of Inverness

“I come from the Soviets and the Nazis. Now I am here. I am from here. I speak the language of here.”

Matthew Zajac’s internationally acclaimed, multi-award-winning play is a story of a son’s search for his father, a story of 20th century Europe, of how a boy who grew up on a farm in Galicia (Eastern Poland, now Western Ukraine) came to be a tailor in northern Scotland. A story of deception, identity and survival, The Tailor of Inverness has moved thousands across the world.
