Synopsis

One of the most highly acclaimed plays of the 1981 Broadway season, “The Dresser” is an affectionate, funny, moving portrait of life backstage.The time is 1942, and the Blitz is raging over an English provincial city. Sir is nearing a mental breakdown: After a lifetime on stage, the pressures have become too much, especially now, when the war has taken the able-bodied men and left Sir with a repleted cast of “old men, cripples and nancy-boys. ” Morman, Sir’s devoted dresser, combines tender sympathy and nanny-like severity in an attempt to lift his fallen monarch to the stage for one last triumph.
