About

Set backstage, Ronald Harwood's acclaimed play The Dresser is a moving and often hilarious love letter to theatre. As an ageing actor-manager struggles to go on stage, his devoted dresser works tirelessly to hold both the performance and the company together. Filled with warmth, humour and poignancy, this modern classic offers a fascinating glimpse into life behind the curtain and celebrates the resilience, chaos and magic of live theatre. A must-see for theatre lovers and newcomers alike.
