The Dresser

synopsis


The lives and relationships within an English touring stage company provide the backdrop for 1983 Oscar nominee The Dresser. Sir (Albert Finney), a grandiloquent old man of the theater, has given his soul to his career, but his tyrannical rule over the company is now beginning to crack under the strain of age and illness as he prepares for his 227th performance of 'King Lear'. Sir’s fastidious and fiercely dedicated dresser, Norman (Tom Courtenay), submits to Sir’s frequently unreasonable demands, tends to his health, and reminds him of what role he is currently playing. Peter Yates' film (based on Ronald Harwood's play) is rich in comedy, compassion and love for theater.
