Ageing actor manager,
'Sir', is struggling to keep a grip on his sanity and complete his 227th performance
of King Lear. Despite most of the country's actors being in uniform in wartorn
Britain and bombs destroying theatres, the show must go on. Ensuring that it does
is Norman, Sir's devoted dresser, who for sixteen years has been there to fix
his wig, massage his ego, remind him of his opening lines and provide the sound
effects in the storm scene. Nicholas Lyndhurst makes
a rare stage appearance in the classic comedy-drama The Dresser alongside Julian
Glover, one of the most distinguished actors of his generation. From the writer
of the Oscar-winning film The Pianist Ronald Harwood and directed by the founder
of the RSC (Peter Hall), The Dresser is a wonderfully moving and hilarious portrait
of backstage life - a truly theatrical treat! Theatre:
