Great acting - solo play of dissolute english king

See it if Raunchy, often drunk King George IV spews humor and venom. Riveting performance by Jonathan Brown, a native of Brighton himself.

Don't see it if Performed on a tiny stage in the Soho Playhouse basement. A marvelous trip back to the early 19th Century with an over-the-top monarch.

Great acting, Great writing, Edgy, Entertaining, Ambitious

See it if you enjoy works on historical figures brought to life in a one person performance dedicated to the seedier side - this one on King George IV

Don't see it if you do not like performances that are a series of short scenes strung together with little staging about a early 19thC monarchs sex life.

Needs a plot line, Entertaining, Great acting

See it if you want to see a show that seems to concentrate more on George IV mental instability than his insatiability and raunchiness

Don't see it if you are really interested in seeing the "other story" that accompanies Betsy, The Whore of Brighton" Read more

Raunchy, Confusing, Ambitious, Entertaining

See it if You want to see a well acted 1 man play about an apparently reprobate George IV that leads into a very well acted 1 woman play about a whore

Don't see it if you aren’t interested in British royal history or prefer big production or comedies or musicals. This is part 1 of 3 plays, see part 2 Read more

Slow, Raunchy

See it if having the actor digging around his pockets and pants for the remote to change the music to match the scene seems normal

Don't see it if you prefer not to have the actor in your face creating a history based on the raunchiness of his Prince Regent characterization
