Digging up dark secrets of the past

Matthew Zajac tells Colette Sheridan about unearthing the surprising truth about his father’s wartime service

AN astonishing story from the Second World War is the subject of a one-man show, The Tailor of Inverness, written and performed by actor and writer, Matthew Zajac.

Edinburgh-based Zajac has turned his late father’s experience of fighting on opposing sides of the war, as well as his dark secret (which we won’t reveal here), into a story that shows the effects of war on individuals and families.
