The Madness of King George
Directed by Nicholas Hytner · starring Nigel Hawthorne, Rupert Graves and Helen Mirren
Synopsis
Just five years after losing the 'rebellious colonies, it appears that England's King George III is now losing his mind! Suddenly, the stately monarch is hallucinating, shouting obscenities, behaving lewdly towards the Queen's comelylady-in-waiting and generally becoming a candidate for the lunatic asylum. The palace doctors are baffled, but the Prince of Wales, tired of playing the waiting game, conspires to take advantage of the situation. Will the King's supporters be able to restore their monarch's wits before he's stripped of his throne?
