“Working together for the first time, the two companies effectively entwine in an emotional and political tapestry connecting clothing and people in a narrative of adventure spun by director Ben Harrison…Each superb soliloquy casts light on a memory – or experience – involving a garment, releasing feelings of anger, envy, regret, lust and in the case of Victorian wear, a humorous bedroom scene… The diverse politics of clothes, from the wedding dress to the burka, to child weavers in third world countries, is a major thread throughout incorporating the use of clever puppetry. This is an outstanding production, delivered by a brilliant cast…. The audience is led seamlessly through with little dilution in emotional intensity, an ongoing fascination holding the pieces together generating a truly unforgettable theatrical experience Dundee audiences should grab with both hands.”
