Scenic Painting | The Madness of George III - Nottingham Playhouse | National Theatre at Home
This is the story behind the incredible scenic painting Nottingham Playhouse created for their production of The Madness of George III. Hear from their Head of Paintshop is Claire Thompson and Deputy Head of Paintshop Anna Roberts and watch time lapses as their backdrops, designed by Robert Jones, come to life.
1788. King George III is the most powerful man in the world. But with his mind unravelling at a dramatic pace, ambitious politicians and a scheming prince threaten to undermine the power of the crown.
The Madness of George III, by Alan Bennett, is streaming from 7pm UK time on Thursday 11 June until 7pm UK time on Thursday 18 June 2020.
