NEW YORK—Set in early 20th century Budapest, a handsomely furnished high-end men’s and women’s clothing store greets the audience. What delicious feathered hats! Fabrics! Neckties!
This sight is courtesy of set designer Daniel Zimmerman, aided and abetted by prop master Joshua Yocom.
“Fashions for Men” came from the fertile imagination of the prolific Ferenc Molnar, who penned 42 plays, including the lovely “Liliom,” (which later metamorphosed into the musical “Carousel” via Rodgers and Hammerstein), as well as journalistic pieces, short stories, and novels.
The shop in “Fashions” is owned by Peter Juhasz (Joe Delafield), the nicest guy in the world—so nice that he will soon go bankrupt if he doesn’t stop extending credit to just about anyone.
