Written by one of Britain's best-loved playwrights Alan Bennett (NT Live Allelujah!, The History Boys, The Lady in the Van), this epic play revived by the Nottingham Playhouse stars Olivier Award-winners Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, NT Live Coriolanus) and Adrian Scarborough (Gavin and Stacey, Upstairs Downstairs).

 

 

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.
