In King Charles III, the queen is dead, and after a lifetime of waiting, the prince ascends the throne. But the play asks the question, "How to rule?" as it explores "the people underneath the crowns, the unwritten rules of our democracy, and the conscience of Britain's most famous family." The Olivier Award-winning drama comes to New York after acclaimed runs at London's Almeida Theatre and on the West End.
