'The Madness Of George III'
by Alan Bennett
venue
The Guildhall Theatre
Dates
10th - 14th November 2015
Director
Niki Caister
Niki Caister brought Alan Bennett's classic comedy of madness and politics to the stage with a dazzling, poignant and hilarious production in November 2015.
The show featured innovative staging and costuming emphasising the clash between the outdated world of the King's court and the modern political battleground of parliament. Performances were excellent across the board with Gordon Gell providing a tour de force as the tormented George.
