“The Dresser” will premiere Monday, May 30 at 9PM ET/PT on STARZ.
The story is set one fateful night in a small regional theatre during World War II as a troupe of touring actors stage a production of Shakespeare’s “King Lear.” Bombs are falling, sirens are wailing, the curtain is up in an hour but the actor/manager Sir who is playing Lear is nowhere to be seen. His dresser, Norman, must scramble to keep the production alive but will Sir turn up in time and if he does will he be able to perform that night?
