Palm Beach Dramaworks in downtown West Palm Beach.
Palm Beach Dramaworks is presenting Ronald Harwood’s poignant drama “The Dresser,” which delves into the complex and enduring relationship between a renowned but aging actor and his devoted dresser.
Set amid the chaos of wartime England, the play follows Sir, a fading theatrical legend, as he prepares for his 227th performance as King Lear. His loyal dresser, Norman, becomes his anchor and confidant, navigating the challenges of the actor’s failing memory and the pressures of the performance.
“The Dresser” promises a moving and insightful exploration of loyalty, friendship and the enduring power of the theatrical spirit.
