January 1942. Great Britain is struggling to repel the ariel onslaught as the Luftwaffe batters the country with wave after wave of bombing missions. Yet, somewhere in an English provincial town, there is a determination to boost public morale with defiant performances of Shakespeare’s classic plays. Sir, the last of the great but dying breed of English actor-managers, is in a very bad way tonight.
Both funny and poignant, Ronald Harwood’s highly acclaimed play perfectly captures not only the equivocal relationship between star and dresser but also the backstage world, a tatty Camelot worshipping a prop Holy Grail.
