Additional casting has been announced for the new work King Charles III, set to open on Broadway this fall. The play about Britain’s future king will begin previews October 10 with opening night set for November 1 at the Music Box Theatre.

Joining the previously announced Tim Pigott-Smith, reprising his role as King Charles III from the play's London premiere, will be Oliver Chris as William, Richard Goulding as Harry, Adam James as Mr. Evans, Margot Leicester as Camilla, Miles Richardson as James Reiss, Tom Robertson as Couttsey and other roles, Sally Scott as Sarah and other roles, Tafline Steen as Jess, and Lydia Wilson as Kate.

Written by Mike Bartlett and directed by Rupert Goold, King Charles III features sets and costumes by Tom Scutt, music compositions by Jocelyn Pook, lighting design by Jon Clark, and sound design by Paul Arditti.

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."

Complete cast and creative team for King Charles III will be announced shortly.
