ABOUT THE SHOW
Norm Foster’s The Gentleman Clothier tells the witty and heartwarming story of Norman Davenport, a man who opens his own bespoke tailor shop in downtown Halifax, only to wish he had been born in a different era. When that wish unexpectedly comes true, Norman is forced to confront what it really means to live a fulfilling life. Blending clever comedy with touching insight, this play is full of Foster’s trademark humor and humanity.
