Georgy Porgey pudding and pie.
The original Party Prince Regent, The Trump, Boris, the Andrew of his time… with likewise a penchant for building profusely, leaving debts, and grabbing p*ssies.
George is a king in waiting. Kept to the wings and given no role by his pious, over-controlling father, he turns to a life of hedonism whereupon building borrowing, cavorting, grabbing pussies, paying off women, gambling, drink and laudanum …all become close to his heart.
Once on the throne…. nothing changes.
Now, with a new King about to be crowned, a “Spare” about to release his memoirs, the haunting award-winning dark comedy about the secrets behind the building of the Brighton Royal Pavilion.
A raucous darkling gem, the true story of how George IV patronised Brighton, partook of the town’s women, fathered unwanted children, and wrestled the land from an ancient stream.
