Revivals of The Dresser & The Miser Set for London's West End

Two-time Olivier winner Griff Rhys Jones, Olivier winner Ken Stott and Reece Shearsmith have been tapped for two new productions in the West End. Sean Foley is set to direct the revivals of Ronald Harwood’s The Dresser and Molière’s classic comedy The Miser.

The Dresser, starring Stott (Broken Glass) and Shearsmith (Betty Blue Eyes), tells the heart-breaking story of an ageing actor-manager and his long-suffering dresser as they struggle to keep the show on the road against the backdrop of a down-at-heel regional theatre in wartime. The production will play a limited engagement October 5 through January 14, 2017. Opening night is scheduled for October 12 at the Duke of York’s Theatre.

Jones (Oliver!) will return to the London stage to lead an ensemble cast in a revival of The Miser, which has been newly adapted by Foley and Phil Porter. The show is set to start previews on March 1, 2017, officially opening on March 13 at the Garrick Theatre. The limited engagement will end on June 10.
