About the play

Set in England against the background of World War II, a group of Shakespearean players are on tour in a seaside town, led by Sir a renowned actor/manager. The troupe is beset with problems and Sir has become exhausted. It’s up to his devoted dresser Norman, and Madge, the stage manager, to hold things together. If they can!


‘The Dresser’ was nominated for Best Play for the Laurence Olivier Awards, and the film, starring Albert Finney as Sir and Tom Courtenay as Norman, was nominated for five Oscars.


This timeless play is a brilliant study of theatrical characters and theatre lore by Oscar-winning playwright Ronald Harwood.
