The Dresser by Ronald Harwood is a witty and poignant play about a touring theatre company in wartime Britain. 

As bombs fall around them the show must go on. The action takes place backstage where the domineering actor manager, simply called Sir, is propped up by his long suffering wife, and Norman his devoted dresser, so he can perform his final King Lear.

It takes all his dresser Norman’s skills to get him onstage for one more performance. The show must go on, but at what cost?

Get involved with the Eden River Trust's Community Tree Nursery project!

There are regular sessions at the tree nursery – usually Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings – for growing native trees from seed or cuttings and looking after all the plants.

The Eden River Trust are still developing the site itself so there is always a bit of digging or building for anyone who likes to flex their muscles and there are also special features to set up to enhance sustainability and support wildlife and community use at the plot.

We’ve worked hard to make the site as accessible as possible and you don’t need any experience or special skills to join in – just come and say hello when we’re there or get in touch with Jenni Payne at volunteers@edenrt.org or call 01768 866788 for more information.

You will gain first hand gardening experience from Jane Hasell-McCosh (owner of Dalemain), Shelagh Todd (Horticultural Lecturer and Plants Woman) and Jo Lees (Head Gardener of Dalemain).
