The acclaimed 'future world' play about Charles' troubled reign
After years of waiting, Prince Charles finally gets his chance to wear the crown, but the Britain he inherits is far from a green and pleasant land. Set in the not too distant future, Mike Bartlett's acclaimed play is a stunning mix of Shakespearean drama and dystopian science fiction, written entirely in free verse and drawing on inspiration from the UK's News of the World phone hacking scandal. With Kate, William and Camilla forming the supporting cast, King Charles III gives us a royal drama like no other.
After debuting i the West End to rapturous reviews, King Charles III played Broadway in 2015, and was nominated for five Tony Awards.
