In the shadow of World War II, behind the backstories of a dilapidated English provincial theatre, the unshakeable relationship of a great actor (Sir) with his sidekick (Norman) and the other members of the troupe create a game between the authoritative and the imperious. Ronald Harwood's classic play “Abiyer”, through the microcosm of the actor-actors of a troupe, confronts the great and timeless problems of all human relationships. The eternal fear of loneliness, our need for devotion, loyalty and self-denial in each other, create fatal interdependent relationships. But balance always comes with the inevitable conflict of life and death. At a time when society is changing and our role within it is being questioned, clashed and renegotiated, Art can and does show us the way, to think, reflect and finally intervene in a catalytic way in reality. “Because only reality can teach us how to change reality.”
