《查尔斯三世KingCharlesIII》剧情简介
The multi-award-winning, internationally successful ‘future history’ play is to be adapted by award-winning playwright and television screenwriter Mike Bartlett (Doctor Foster) from his own Olivier Award-winning script. Fellow Olivier Award-winner Rupert Goold will direct, reuniting the creative team behind the play originally produced by the Almeida Theatre.
The piece, daringly written in blank verse, sees Prince Charles ascend to the throne following the Queen’s death. But when he refuses to sign a controversial bill into law, political chaos ensues – a constitutional crisis, rioting on the streets, and a tank in front of Buckingham Palace. Charles, meanwhile, is forced to wrestle with his own identity and purpose as a ceremonial monarch.
