OBSERVER: The Dress
Essence Theatre Productions present The Dress from November 2-7 at the Bluestone Church Arts Space, Footscray.
Set in I899, The Dress is a two-hander featuring the characters of Mrs Hannah Bryden, a widow who enjoys nothing save for the occasional company of her dressmaker, the flamboyant Mr Bertin.
But when massive advances in the fashion industry jeopardise Bertin’s livelihood, he hatches a plan to save both of them from obscurity.
Hannah must launch herself once more as one of Melbourne’s leading socialites at an upcoming masquerade ball in the most jaw-dropping fashion statement Bertin has ever created. Two unlikely allies race to regain their spark of life.
This charming two-hander will be performed by Alaine Beek as Hannah and Scott Jackson as Mr Bertin.
