In Lauren Yee’s whimsical and poignant new play The Hatmaker’s Wife, a young woman moves in with her boyfriend expecting domestic bliss, but instead has trouble getting comfortable. Her strange new home seems determined to help out – and soon the walls are talking. They reveal the magical tale of an old hatmaker and his long-suffering wife, who runs away with his favorite hat. Featuring Tuesdays with Morrie actor Jack Hunter and JRT favorite Peter Palmisano. This sweet and surreal story bends time, space, and Yiddish folklore to redefine the idea of family, home, and true love itself.
