The Hatmaker's Wife

The Hatmaker's Wife

Long Beach Playhouse
5021 E. Anaheim St. Long Beach

In Lauren Yee's comic fairy tale, inspired by the Jewish folktales of Sholem Aleichem, we are introduced to a young woman who moves in with her boyfriend expecting domestic bliss. Instead, she finds discomfort, displacement, and the realization that she needs more. In this witty yet deeply touching comedy, she finds assistance and guidance from the unlikeliest of sources - a wall in her new home. As the wall shares with her the magical tale of an old hatmaker and his long-suffering wife, this sweet and surreal story bends time and space to redefine the idea of family, home, and true love itself.
