The Dresser

 

The Dresser, Norwich Theatre Royal, 2004

Cast: Nicholas Lyndhurst, Annabel Leventon, Julian Glover, Liza SAdovy, Anna Lauren, Col Farrell, Paul Andsell

Writer: Ronald Harwood
Director: Peter Hall

I imagine Nicholas is supposed to be rolling his eyes in exasperation but it also looks like he's pulling a camp face which is not the same as acting. When I saw Julian Clary and Matthew Kelly do this recently I thought it was the first time I'd seen it on stage but apparently not. Shockingly this is the second this directed by Peter Hall that I have no recollection of seeing, which is not really a compliment to one of our greatest directors.
