They're coming to see whether or not I can REALLY act. Hoping I can't - knives out.
One hour until curtain up, and Omar Sharif isn't happy. The show went well last night, but he feels aggrieved that he was upstaged by his fellow actor. He puts on his makeup and longs for a little moment of peace. But that isn't easy when he has to share a dressing room. It's more than Omar can endure – he is the star, isn't he?
And then comes Mag, the assistant director, although Omar has hardly noticed her before. He thinks she's disturbing him to give feedback on last night's performance, but she has more important things to discuss.
And Daphne, his dresser, has been given the task of finding out whether Omar has dyed his moustache again. There have been complaints. These are escalating. Being a successful actor isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Set backstage at Chichester Festival Theatre in 1983, when Omar starred in Terence Rattigan's The Sleeping Prince. Hannah Khalil's Love Omar is a fictional piece inspired by this moment of theatre history.
This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere production at Theatro Technis in May 2026.
