Beloved Beatrix Potter tale “The Tailor of Gloucester” will be presented in concert version in Chattanooga Theatre Centre’s Circle Theatre in one performance at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 24.
Costumed actors, standing behind podiums, will perform this adaptation, with book by Michael Huseman and Chuck Tuttle, CTC education director. Music and lyrics are also by Huseman, who composed seven original songs for the characters in the story.
“The Tailor of Gloucester” is the story of a tailor who must make a coat for the Mayor of Gloucester to wear at his wedding on Christmas Day. He sends his cat to buy food and a twist of silk to complete the waistcoat.
While the cat is gone, the tailor finds the cat has captured mice under teacups. The mice are released; but in retaliation, the cat hides the silk twist.
