About The Dresser - Harrogate Theatre
Set in a small English regional theatre during the Blitz, The Dresser explores the relationship between two men who are reluctantly and inevitably co-dependent.
Sir, the last of a dying breed of Shakespearean actors, is struggling to take to the stage to deliver his renowned portrayal of King Lear. Or is it Othello? His failing health, wavering confidence and erratic behaviour threaten tonight’s performance and the company’s future. It falls to Norman, his faithful dresser, to keep both the show and its star from falling apart.
Both wickedly funny and deeply moving, this is a beautifully observed portrait of a shabby backstage ego at odds with the glamour and greatness of his presence on stage; and the man who sacrifices his own life to keep him going.
This amateur production of The Dresser, by Ronald Harwood is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
