As passionate as the story, Repertory Philippines latest
production is a power house casting with no less than Audie Gemora and Teroy Guzman
as the main lead, base on the British play by Ronald Harwood that tell a story
about loyalty and dedication to theater, staged in war period where a
production of King Lear is being mounted.
Gemora play Norman, a very passionate Dresser to Teroy
Character as Sir, the main star of their play whose life is colorful as the
role he plays in many stages show they are doing, it talks about friendship
above all its loyalty that matter.
The Dresser we must say is a showcase of prowess acting, how
great all the actors in bringing life to their characters, plus the challenge
of its accent in a beautiful production set believing you are really in a
backstage of a theater set.

a fact that he enjoy doing it, it’s a teamwork he said since many of his cast
are also directed play in the past, it’s all collaborative effort he said.
“This is challenging, an English play in this country so I
gave it a chance for trial, it’s an adventure I always thought it an adventure,
it was a roller coaster.” Arcenas said.
