BWW Review: THE DRESSER, Richmond Theatre
In the right hands, Ronald Harwood’s Olivier award-nominated tragicomedy The Dresser is poignant, hilarious and also heart-breaking. Terry Johnson’s new touring version captures the undercurrent of deep sorrow of the play in a this rather meta production about a touring theatre company.

BWW Review: THE DRESSER, Duke of York's Theatre, 13 October 2016
In the theatre it is well known that; no matter what, the show must go on. This sentiment has rarely been portrayed so poignantly as it is in Ronald Harwood's Olivier award-nominated play The Dresser. First performed in 1980, the play returns to the West End in a fabulous revival of the tragic comedy that delves into the psyche of an actor well past his prime.
Provincetown Theater to Present THE DRESSER, 4/6-24
The Provincetown Theater brings the Broadway and West End hit "The Dresser" to its stage April 6 to 24. "The Dresser", written by Ronald Harwood, chronicles the end times of Great Britain's once-grand theatrical touring companies. The play, set in 1942, is both touching and hilarious, revealing the shabby egos, ridiculous obsessions, and blind loyalties played out behind the glamour of the stage.
