King John
About the Show
Shakespeare set King John in the early 13th century and compresses John’s 17-year reign into a succession of tyrannical, bloody moments that begin with King Philip of France and the Duke of Austria threatening war and demanding that John’s nephew, Arthur, is the rightful heir to the English throne.
