The Dresser follows the story of a touring company in the midst of war as they prepare for a production of William Shakespeare’s King Lear. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sir, a distressed but gifted thespian, arrives on the set in a delusional state. His loyal dresser, Norman, is determined to ensure that the show goes on – despite the disapproval of the company who have had enough of Sir’s erratic behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n

As audiences begin to fill the theater and an air-raid commences, Sir steps on the stage as Lear as the company hopes for the best.<\/span><\/p>\n
