The Queen is dead: after a lifetime of waiting, the prince ascends the throne. A future of power. But how to rule?

Directed by Almeida Artistic Director Rupert Goold, this ‘bracingly provocative and outrageously entertaining new play’ ( Independent) explores the people underneath the crowns, the unwritten rules of our democracy, and the conscience of Britain’s most famous family.

King Charles III transferred to Wyndham’s Theatre in the West End and ran from 2nd September 2014 to 31st January 2015.
