If you loved King Lear, try The Dresser
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Richard Eyre, and they sit in Drama / TV Movie territory. If that's the register that drew you to King Lear, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Dresser is
Shakespeare in the Blitz meets Noises Off. An actor-manager vanishes hours before curtain on a WWII tour of King Lear the dresser Norman must cover for him or cancel the show. Sir’s self-regard collapses against Norman’s quiet devotion and a half-mad audience in a blacked-out stalls.
