King Charles III

Coronado Playhouse
1835 Strand Way Coronado

Witness the most glamorous and photographed family in the world, the British royal family, through a modern-Shakespearean lens. A smash Broadway and West End hit, King Charles III was nominated for six Olivier Awards, five Tony Awards and three Drama Desk Awards, winning Best Play in London. In the near future, Queen Elizabeth II is dead and Prince Charles prepares to finally ascend to the throne. But what do Prince William, Princess Kate and Prince Harry really think about their father's ascension? When the Prime Minister proposes legislation designed to restrict the freedom of the press, Charles boldly attempts to reassert the crown's power, landing himself -- and his country -- in a royal mess. Exploring the themes of power and betrayal, King Charles III at Coronado Playhouse is a Shakespearean-style take on the future of the British royal family, and the flesh-and-blood people beneath the crowns.
