Peterborough Players to Screen THE MADNESS OF GEORGE III
On Saturday, January 26 at 1:00pm the Peterborough Players present an encore screening from National Theatre Live: THE MADNESS OF GEORGE III.
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 unravelling 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. Written by one of Britain's best-loved playwrights, Alan Bennett (The History Boys, The Lady in the Van), this epic play was also adapted into a BAFTA Award-winning film following its premiere on stage in 1991.The cast of this new production includes Olivier Award-winners Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Wolf Hall, NT Live: Coriolanus) in the title role, and Adrian Scarborough (Gavin and Stacey, Upstairs Downstairs, After the Dance).
Runtime is approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes including an intermission.
Tickets to National Theatre Live screenings are $20. For tickets and information on this and all upcoming productions, call 603-924-7585 and visit www.peterboroughplayers.org. The Peterborough Players is located at 55 Hadley Road in Peterborough, NH.
