NEW YORK—Written and performed by Matthew Zajac, “The Tailor of Inverness” offers a very personal family mystery wrapped up in a historical conundrum. Even after the mystery is exposed to the cold light of reality, only glimmers of truth are seen, yet sometimes these may have to be enough.
Dogstar Theatre Company presents the one-man show as part of the Brits Off Broadway Festival at 59E59 Theaters.
Mateusz Zajac was born in Gnilowody, Poland, and was serving in the Polish army when World War II broke out. Captured by the Soviets in the days before the former Soviet Union sided with the Allies, he eventually escaped, joined up with other Poles, got back into the war, and fought in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy.

Matthew Zajac plays both his father and himself as narrator in "The Tailor of Inverness." Tim Morozzo
