Synopsis
Origin
1896. Left behind in the family manor, young Mary plays hide and seek with the servant, Beth. But as the game unfolds, she realises Beth isn’t the only one searching for her… Something else is lurking in the dark. And it’s ready to play.
The Dresser
In a touring Shakespearean theater group, a backstage hand - the dresser, is devoted to the brilliant but tyrannical head of the company. He struggles to support the deteriorating star as the company struggles to carry on during the London blitz. The pathos of his backstage efforts rival the pathos in the story of Lear and the Fool that is being presented on-stage, as the situation comes to a crisis.
