King Charles III by Mike Bartlett

King Charles III by Mike Bartlett

Mike Bartlett's 'future history play' explores the people beneath the crowns, the unwritten rules of our democracy, and the conscience of Britain's most famous family.

'Outstanding and provocative… the most spectacular, gripping and wickedly entertaining piece of lèse-majesté that British theatre has ever seen'

* Telegraph *

'Bold, brilliant and unstoppably entertaining… an intelligent, empathetic, moving look at the power and limitations of the modern monarchy… theatre doesn't get much better than this'

* The Times *

'Extraordinary… a meaty, hilarious, dizzyingly audacious state of the nation political thriller'

* Time Out *

'Royally entertaining… raises fascinating questions about the future of the monarchy'

* Guardian *

'Scintillating and highly ambitious.. a brilliant, provocative piece of drama'

* Financial Times *

'Wonderfully original... Bartlett's brilliant text pulses with Shakespearean resonances... a right royal triumph'

* The Stage *

'Pitch-perfect… bracingly provocative and outrageously entertaining'

* Independent *

'Brilliantly ambitious… deliciously smart… [the] script is a witty amalgam of Shakespearean rhythms and sharp modern colloquialisms'

* Exeunt Magazine *
