Benedict Nelson shines in Eight Songs for a Mad King at the Potemkin Theatre

Benedict Nelson receives critical acclaim at Snape Malting's Festival of New.

Baritone Benedict Nelson's performance in Shadwell Opera's Eight Songs for a Mad King received critical acclaim last week. This compelling monodrama, based on the writings of King George III was a visceral parable for the anxiety within modern society. The performance took place at the Potemkin Theatre, London, 7th September at 19.00

“It was thanks to the singer Benedict Nelson, whose brave, poised and technically brilliant performance drew on inner feelings rather than the more usual, extrovert histrionics.”
