ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
An abandoned husband takes revenge by destroying his wife’s treasured dresses, and with them their memories, love, and perhaps even her very identity and soul.
1920’s, England
A letter arrives for Hewson from Margery in Switzerland. This is a surprise to Hewson who thinks Margery will be begging to return and he’ll have to turn her down; after all, he has made other arrangements. But instead she is asking him to arrange the divorce and she presents a list of the dresses she wishes him to send her.
List in hand, Hewson packs up Margery’s dresses into a huge chest. Becoming increasingly impassioned and upset, he accidentally tears their favourite dress. Realising that now Leslie will never have “the Margery”, Hewson spitefully decides to send it to her anyway. Finally loosing control he rips the dress into shreds.
