National Theatre Live Screening: The Madness of George III

National Theatre Live Screening: The Madness of George III

Presented by Irvine Barclay Theatre and Arts Orange County at Irvine Barclay Theatre

Broadcast in HD from the Nottingham Playhouse.

Written by one of Britain’s best-loved playwrights, Alan Bennett (The History BoysThe Lady in the Van), this epic play was also adapted into a BAFTA Award-winning film following its premiere on stage in 1991.

The cast of this new production includes Olivier Award winners Mark Gatiss (SherlockWolf Hall, NT Live: Coriolanus) in the title role, and Adrian Scarborough (Gavin and StaceyUpstairs DownstairsAfter 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.
