Synopsis

An egocentric actor and his relationships with his company, his wife and especially with his devoted dresser Norman, who has found ‘Sir’, apparently in the middle of some kind of breakdown, stamping on his hat in the market place of the provincial town where they are playing. He has taken Sir to hospital and now Sir’s wife and leading lady and the company stage-manager are about to cancel the night’s performance when Sir turns up in his dressing room disoriented and in a state of collapse. Norman is determined that Sir shall perform, but can this wreck really go on as King Lear? We watch what happens from the wings.
