Poppy + George

Work:: Poppy + George (S0518514948)

It is 1919. The Great War is over. The East End of London. A Dressmaker, Tailor and Costumier's workshop. Poppy Wright arrives in London from up North to find her place and make her mark in an uncertain world. Deep in the heart of the East End she meets three men - Smith, a Russian Jewish tailor with a Chinese past; Tommy Johns, a fading music hall artiste not long back from the trenches and George Sampson, a dashing chauffeur. Together they laugh, drink and disagree, make clothes, forge friendships and place their bets. Poppy and George fall in love, in a time that urges all to question who they are and what role to play in forging a new, modern era. In 1919, a year of uncertainties and new found opportunities, the corset finally comes off for good and it's time to discover who really wears the trousers.
