The story

The film centres on the relationship between an ageing Shakespearean actor, named only as "Sir", and his longtime theatrical dresser, Norman. It is set entirely in the backstage area (and briefly, the main stage) of a London playhouse during the Blitz. It opens with a meeting between Norman and Sir's (apparent) wife, "Her Ladyship", in Sir's dressing room.
