The Dresser feat. Julian Clary

"It is 1942 and in a war-torn provincial theatre an ageing actor manager, known to his loyal acting company as 'Sir', is struggling to cling on to his sanity and complete his two hundred and twenty seventh performance of King Lear.

It is down to Norman, Sir's devoted dresser, to ensure that in spite of everything, the show goes on. For sixteen years Norman has been there to fix Sir's wig, massage his ego, remind him of his opening lines and provide the sound effects in the storm scene."

The 2020 Brighton run will star Julian Clary as Norman and Olivier Award-winner, Matthew Kelly as "Sir".
