The Dresser

by

Ronald Harwood

Directed by Jeremy Cleverley

February 18th - 21st 1987

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.
