Event details

It's 1942, and Sir is taking Shakespeare to the provinces. A Great Actor - a colossus of the stage; a star - but is all that only what he used to be?


Tonight it's Lear - or is it Othello? Or is he getting too old and forgetful for any of it? Only faithful, insignificant Norman seems to be able to hold him together at all these days. And as what cost to himself?

The Dresser is a funny, beautifully observed portrait of a shabby backstage ego at odds with the glamour and greatness of his presence on stage; and the man who sacrifices his own life to keep him going.

Times: 7:30pm (and a 2pm matinee on Saturday)
Tickets: £18 & £10 for U21s
Booking: Essential - via the Sudbury Quay Theatre website or call the box office on 01787 374745
