Sir, a grandiloquent old man of the theater, has given his soul to his career, but his tyrannical rule over the company is now beginning to crack under the strain of age and illness as he prepares for his two hundred twenty-seventh performance of King Lear. Sir's dedicated dresser, Norman, submits to Sir's frequently unreasonable demands, tends to his health, and reminds him of what role he is currently playing.
