The Dresser

by

Ronald Harwood

Directed by: Edna Garner

3rd - 7th April 1984

This poignant backstage drama captures the spirit of the great Shakespearean actors who toured England, even during wartime. Performing in repertory the mythically large, tragic roles of Lear and Othello, "Sir," as he is simply known, is wracked by age and ill health, and yet has quite an indomitable persona. Only Norman, Sir's loyal behind-the-scenes dresser, is capable of handling him.
