What happens backstage is always true drama in Ronald Harwood’s highly-acclaimed The Dresser.
1942 and in a war-torn provincial theatre an ageing actor-manager, known to all as ‘Sir’, is struggling to cling on to his sanity and complete his latest performance of King Lear.
For sixteen years Norman, Sir’s devoted dresser, has been there to fix Sir’s wig, massage his ego, remind him of his opening lines and provide the sound effects in the storm scene. It is down to Norman to ensure that in spite of everything, the show goes on.
