The Madness of George III

Before there was Hamilton there was The Madness of George III  - Alan Bennett at his very best giving a new insight to a key period of history. King George III is becoming increasingly erratic after losing the American colonies and doctors are brought in to cure his madness. All of them are eminently respectable and one is in the employ of the Prince to Wales, a man with a strong motive for easing the king further into madness. When the King recovers with the aid of a country doctor, a constitutional crisis is averted.

First performed by the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain with Nigel Hawthorne as the King and most recently performed at the Nottingham Playhouse with Mark Gattiss in the leading role.
