King Charles III
Mike Bartlett
The Madness of George III
by Alan Bennett
Synopsis
In this sensational drama from the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain George III becomes increasingly erratic after losing the American colonies until doctors are brought in to cure his madness.
All of them are eminently respectable quacks 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.
Nigel Hawthorne starred at London's National Theatre, on Broadway and film as mad King George.
