The play has been seen by over 90,000 people and recouped its full production costs at the Wyndham's in eight weeks. It is a piece of speculative fiction, that explores the future of the United Kingdom after the death of the Queen, with the prince who has spent a lifetime waiting for his moment of power now having to decide how he will reign.
Mike Bartlett's play explores the people underneath the crowns, the unwritten rules of our democracy, and the conscience of Britain's most famous family. Directed by the Almeida Theatre's Artistic Director Rupert Goold, King Charles III has been designed by Tom Scutt, with music composed by Jocelyn Pook, with lighting by Jon Clark and sound by Paul Arditti. The play has been described as Shakespearian in its analysis of power and human weakness, and features some spellbinding performances. The Wyndham Theatre is to be found in the heart of London's theatre district around Leicester Square, in easy reach of London landmarks as well as great shops, hotels and restaurants.
