NT Live Encore Screening: The Madness Of George III
Drama Mark Gatiss from The League Of Gentleman takes on the demanding title role in Adam Penford's sold-out staging of Alan Bennett's award-winning drama, which was recorded live on the stage of the Nottingham Playhouse. The year is 1788 and the erratic behaviour of King George III is causing concern to Queen Charlotte and Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger. Dr Willis and other physicians disagree about the best course of action and they subject the king to various harrowing procedures.
