Reno, NV. Bruka Theatre’s 26th Season: A Classic Revolution continues the season’s classic bend with The Dresser, written by Ronald Harwood and directed by Dave Richards. Originally produced in 1980 on The West End and Broadway, The Dresser is theatre based on the author’s experiences as dresser to an English Shakespearean actor. The actor, called Sir, is a vainglorious actor, the last of the great breed of English performers. The play begins with Sir in a “bad way”, as his dresser Norman tries valiantly to prepare him to go on stage as King Lear. Unsure of his lines as well as who and where he is supposed to be, Sir is adamantly determined to roar his last. This bracing, heartbreaking drama becomes a beautiful stand‐alone story for the redemptive nature of theatre. Playing January 18, 19, 24, 25, 26, 31 February 1, 2, 6A, 7, 8, 9 with matinees on January 27 and February 3, 2019.
