About this event
Sir, the last of the great but dying breed of English actor-managers, is in a very bad way tonight. As his dresser, Norman, tries valiantly to prepare him to go on stage as King Lear, Sir is having great difficulty remembering who and where he is, let alone Lear’s lines. So why is he applying black make up? Is his wife, playing Cordelia, light enough to carry on stage? Is the young actress, Irene, a little too keen to polish his crown? And what secret is held by the stage manager, Madge? As the bombs begin to fall can Sir summon the strength for one last great performance?
Both funny and poignant, Ronald Harwood’s highly acclaimed play perfectly captures the backstage world.
