Did you know that...King Lear 4
Did you know that King George III of the United Kingdom suffered from paroxysms of madness, so that, during his reign, between 1810 and 1820, all shows with King Lear have been forbidden, due to the main character’s madness? Allan Bennett has written a play about the mental decline of this king, The Madness of George III, enacted in Romania at the „Bulandra” Theatre, with Mircea Albulescu and Rodica Tapalagă.
The premiere of the show King Lear, directed by David Doiashvili shall be hosted by the Grand Hall of the National Theatre of Bucharest on 11 December 2016, as of 7.00 p.m. !
