About the show
Based on author Ronald Harwoods’ own experience as Dresser to Sir Donald Wolfitt this poignant, heart-warming drama tells the story of an aging actor’s personal assistant who struggles to keep his charge’s life together.
The play captures the sentiment, the bitchiness and the anecdotal backstage as Norman strives to prepare Sir for his 227th performance of King Lear.
Affectionate and comical, this love letter to the theatre is an intelligent glimpse behind the curtain.
