Name: The Madness of George III
Brand: Faber & Faber

Faber & Faber

George III's behaviour has often been odd, but now he is deranged, with rumours circulating that he has even addressed an oak tree as the King of Prussia. Doctors are brought in, the government wavers and the Prince Regent manoeuvres himself into power.\nAlan Bennett's play explores the court of a mad king, and the fearful treatments he was forced to undergo. It is about the nature of kingship itself, showing how by subtle degrees the ruler's delirium erodes his authority and status.\nThe Madness of George III premiered at the National Theatre, London, in November 1991.\n\nMadness of George III\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note: the price advertised is as low as we can go \u2014 we do not accept or respond to offers.
