Home Country Dress
original script (as Das Heimatkleid) by Kirsten Fuchs
adapted and directed by Katherine Boorstein
The 50-minute solo play Home Country Dress follows Claire, a naïve American college student. When Claire joins her sister's fashion blog, she finds herself at the center of a politicized scandal that will draw her towards the sinister siren call of extremist ideas. How will Claire decide what she believes? And why is her political new neighbor so hot? Home Country Dress blends levity and gravity, humor and hurt to invite us to reflect on how hate happens.
