A 5-star hit at the 2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Dallas writer-performer Elaine Liner's poignant solo comedy feels "like you’re listening to a friend who really, really needs to tell you some stories," says the Dallas Morning News. Dallas Voice named it one of the year's 10 best shows on DFW stages. Bring your knitting (or crocheting) and stitch along as Elaine shares her obsessions with great literature (that mentions knitting), old movies (in which Bette Davis knits) and the romantic entanglements of knitting sweaters for significant others. Come early and add stitches to the traveling scarf that goes with Elaine to all performances. Follow @thesweaterplay on Twitter.
