Choose options
David Pinski’s brilliant contemporary Yiddish drawing-room comedy farce 'The Tailor Becomes a Storekeeper' received a spectacular world premiere presentation at the historic Daly's Theatre in 1938 under the banner of the Federal Theatre Project's specialized language divisions. The fast-paced farcical plot centers on an plain, honest blue-collar garment tailor who unexpectedly inherits a modest corporate retail franchise shop, collapsing his household into farcical chaos when high-society associates attempt to exploit his metrics.
