A provocative drama, drawing on the style and structure of a Shakespearean history play, which explores the people beneath the crowns, the unwritten rules of our democracy, and the conscience of Britain’s most famous family.
Queen Elizabeth II is dead. After a lifetime of waiting, her son ascends the throne. A future of power. But how to rule?
King Charles III premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in April 2014.
A revised version of the play, as it was performed in the West End, is also available.
