The new Olivier Award-winning Best Play, King Charles III, will open on Broadway this fall, producers have announced. The Rupert Goold-directed production of Mike Bartlett’s play recently enjoyed a critically acclaimed run at the Almeida Theatre and in the West End. The Broadway run will begin previews October 10 with opening night set for November 1 at the Music Box Theatre.
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."
Leading man Tim Pigott-Smith is set to reprise his role as King Charles III on Broadway. Complete cast, creative, and additional information for King Charles III will be announced shortly.
The West End cast also featured Katie Brayben, current star of the West End production of Beautiful, Richard Goulding, Nyasha Hatendi, Adam James, Margot Leicester, Miles Richardson, Tom Robertson, Nicholas Rowe, Tafline Steen, and Lydia Wilson.
