King Charles III

Seattle Repertory Theatre
155 Mercer Street Seattle

The Queen is dead. Long live the King! Hailed as 2015's best new Broadway play by Time, Entertainment Weekly and The New Times, and winner of the 2015 Olivier Award for Best New Play, Mike Bartlett's King Charles III explores the people underneath the crowns, the unwritten rules of Britain's democracy and the conscience of its most famous family. This modern-day riff on the Shakespearean political drama centers on Prince Charles, who after a lifetime of waiting, is finally made king -- only to face an ethical dilemma over a bill limiting the freedom of the press. See this buzz-worthy production of King Charles III at Seattle Rep's Bagley Wright Theatre.
