Backstage in a provincial theatre an ageing actor-manager, known to his company as Sir, is struggling to find the strength to make it to the stage for his two hundred and twenty seventh performance of King Lear. With thirty minutes to curtain-up, air-raid sirens sounding and the best actors having been ‘called up’, Sir is crumbling, but the show must go on. Devoted dresser Norman must once again rally the unpredictable star whose grip on sanity is becoming increasingly precarious.

This is a Leeds Civic Arts Guild production
