NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE SCREENING: THE MADNESS OF GEORGE III

BY ALAN BENNETT

December 14, 7 pm

Multi-award-winning drama The Madness of George III will be broadcast live to cinemas, in National Theatre Live’s first ever broadcast from Nottingham Playhouse.

Written by one of Britain’s best-loved playwrights Alan Bennett, this epic play was also adapted into a BAFTA Award-winning film following its premiere on stage in 1991. The cast of this new production includes Olivier Award-winners Mark Gatiss in the title role and Adrian Scarborough.

In 1786, as King George III’s mind unravels at a dramatic pace, ambitious politicians and the scheming Prince of Wales threaten to undermine the power of the Crown, and expose the fine line between a King and a man. $18 ($16 for Members). Guild Hall,

BEST OF THE EAGLES

December 29, 8 pm

They’re the most exacting interpretation of the music of the Eagles in America, bar none! Each member mirrors his counterpart in the Eagles instrumentally and vocally. However, this is no simple cover band or impersonator act but rather a group of world-class musicians who expertly and authentically capture and re-create the songs, the music, the vocals and the magical aura of one of America’s greatest rock bands.
