The live experience

What reaches the room

The Madness of King George III is a landmark piece of theatre created by writer Alan Bennett. Premiering in 1991 at the National Theatre in London, this historical biographical drama explores the later years of King George III, his illness, and the intricate political landscape of late 18th-century Britain. The work subsequently inspired the acclaimed film The Madness of King George (1994), directed by Nicholas Hytner, and has become a staple of NT Live broadcasts, bringing stage performances to cinema audiences around the world.
