The Dresser

by Ronald Harwood

If you missed this play in the West End...

This wonderful play is a study in vanity, loneliness and ambition, that also has many comic moments.

The action takes place in a provincial British town in 1942 during an air raid.

‘Sir’, an actor-manager – and no youngster himself – is trying to keep his troupe going through all the privations the war can throw at him, including a distinct lack of Brown & Polson and a cast comprising “old men, cripples and nancy-boys”.

We join the cast and crew as they prepare for a production of Shakespeare's "King Lear"
