The Madness of George III by Alan Bennett

Sarahmanncompany presents The Madness of George III By Alan Bennett July 12 - 15 Brighton Open Air Theatre

King George III is unwell and parliament is in crisis. His behaviour is becoming increasingly erratic, with rumours circulating that he has even addressed an oak tree as the King of Prussia. Doctors are brought in with their bizarre and inhumane treatments as the pleasure-seeking Prince of Wales prepares to manoeuvre himself into power…
Alan Bennett’s play is both touching and superbly funny. Featuring an incredible cast of more than 20 of Brighton’s best actors – this epic play is not to be missed! Bring your picnic and marvel at the machinations of politicians, the pretensions of The Prince Regent, the ridiculous prescriptions of the doctors, and the remarkable intervention of the formidable Dr Willis… and raise a glass of bubbly to the devoted love of Mr and Mrs King!

It is a spectacle of Kingship, a comedy of manners and an exploration of a man in mental crisis.

“I have always been myself even when I was ill. Only now I seem myself. That’s the important thing. I have remembered how to seem. What, what?”

Cast includes: Nathan Ariss, Amelia Armande, Nick Bartlett, Andrew Clover, Robert Cohen, Paddy Cooper, Josh Crisp, Doug Devaney, Ross Gurney-Randall, Jack Kristiansen, Pip Henderson and Sarah Mann
