The Sewing Group

by E.V. Crowe

I have spoken very clearly with her and I have told her that she is new here and that she must live how we live.' A woman arrives in a rural village in pre-industrial England. Her desire is to sew and learn from their simple way of life. But the group soon begins to suspect she is not who they thought she was. 'There's no point in just making quilts. They have to serve the village. They have to DO something.' E. V. Crowe's The Sewing Group premiered in the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in November 2016.

kinda weird.. just how I like plays <3

An odd little thing of a play--saw this at the Royal Court, and admired its commitment to effectively being bad for the first 1/3, while a deeper mystery unfolds. The sort of thing that I think is particular to the theatrical genre is sort of sitting you down and making you watch something; I'm not sure what the experience of this would be without having the production to lead you through.

A very quick read and an interesting idea as a play. Not sure it really gripped me (read it on a flight) and the use of character names A, B, C, etc. was fairly annoying. Even so it's a nice idea and worth a read.
