Experience the captivating tale of King George III's descent into madness and the rise of Dr. Willis in "The Madness of George III." Alan Bennett's renowned play, later adapted into a 1994 film starring Nigel Hawthorne, brings to life the year 1786 when King George III, the most influential figure of his time, grapples with a deteriorating mental state.

The arrival of Dr. Willis, a forward-thinking physician with groundbreaking ideas on mental health, becomes the King's beacon of hope in his turbulent journey.
