Something Underground...
“writer Jonathan Brown knows how to drive a plot… ” Lyn Gardner, The Guardian.
Journey into the murky, sordid and dangerous depths of Brighton’s Underworld, an evocation of memories and past lives.
George IV, The Prince Regent,
wreaks havoc building his Brighton Pavilion, with hilarious and dark
echoes of the Trump, Prince Andrew, Boris of his time.
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, where
building. borrowing, cavorting, grabbing pussies, paying off women,
gambling, drink and laudanum... all become close to his
heart.
Once on the throne….
nothing changes.
As he moves to his next project, his
Pavilion, he is forced to change the course of a hidden river that
runs through the town. Unbeknownst to him, the ancient river has
allies in the underworld, and George is caught up in dark, unholy
adventures, to find out what wisdom his own unbidden children have to
tell him.
