Nottingham Playhouse launches digital documentary series in association with Theatre Royal Stratford East

Co-hosted by Nottingham Playhouse Artistic Director Adam Penford, together with Nadia Fall, Artistic Director of Theatre Royal Stratford East, The Revival brings cast and creatives together with historians and cultural commentators to give behind the scenes insights and a wider context of some of the two theatres’ recent hits.

Kicking off with the award-winning Nottingham Playhouse production of The Madness of George III, the first episode features Mark Gatiss who received critical praise for his portrayal of George III, alongside Adrian Scarborough who won the What’s On Stage Best Actor in a Supporting Role award for his role as Doctor Willis. They are joined by Debra Gillett (Queen Charlotte), Sara Powell (Lady Pembroke) and Adam Karim (Fortnum), as well as Professor Arthur Burns of The Georgian Papers Project, who was the production’s historical consultant.  Together these six contributors give an enlightening and entertaining insight into the production, which is currently being screened in its entirety as part of The National Theatre’s At Home Season.
