The Dresser is a tragicomedy by Ronald Harwood set in England during the Blitz in World War II, focusing on a dedicated dresser, Norman, who struggles to ensure his aging and mentally deteriorating actor boss, "Sir," can perform his final performances of King Lear. The play explores the deep, complex relationship between the two men, showcasing the chaotic but vibrant backstage life of a touring Shakespearean company, the actors' egos, and the poignant persistence of art in the face of war.
