The Madness of George III
to
The ClarkMulti-award-winning drama The Madness of George III is broadcast to cinemas, in London National Theatre’s first ever broadcast from Nottingham Playhouse.
The cast of this new production includes Olivier Award winners Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Wolf Hall, NT Live's Coriolanus) in the title role, and Adrian Scarborough (Gavin and Stacey, Upstairs Downstairs, After the Dance).
It’s 1786 and King George III is the most powerful man in the world. But his behavior is becoming increasingly erratic as he succumbs to fits of lunacy. With the King’s mind unraveling at a dramatic pace, ambitious politicians and the scheming Prince of Wales threaten to undermine the power of the Crown, and expose the fine line between a King and a man.
