The Madness of George III at The Apollo Theatre, London
Filling the boots of Jerusalem was never going to be easy for the Apollo Theatre, but in The Madness of George III, they've probably found a perfect substitute. With strong characters, the touch of insanity and strong routes in England's culture, they have a lot in common and the change could be a great addition to the West End.


Written by Alan Bennet in 1991, the play first hit the stage at the national theatre twenty years ago to massive critical acclaim and box office success. Made into a film, The Madness of King George, in 1994, the play follows the fortunes, or lack there of, of King George III as he is overtaken with insanity.


The Madness of George III will run from 18th January 2012 for a limited 11 week performance at the Apollo Theatre until 31st March 2012, following the close of Jerusalem. It will be transferring from the Theatre Royal Bath after much public and critical appreciation.


David Haig (Four Weddings and a Funeral & The Thin Blue Line) will take on Nigel Hawthorne's former role as King George III alongside Clive Francis, Beatie Edney and Madhav Sharma.
