See a Modern Interpretation of Shakespeare’s Classic King Charles III at Sidney Harman Hall

The Shakespeare Theatre Company brings what TIME Magazine, The New York Times, and the Associated Press call the number one play of the year to D.C. until March 12th. King Charles III at Sidney Harman Hall brings the British monarchy into the contemporary celebrity-centric world, while infusing Shakespearean blank verse into the mix.

This highly entertaining story depicts the future of the throne after the queen has passed, and William and Kate apply the unwritten rules of British democracy to rule. Written by Mike Bartlett and directed by David Muse, this performance taps the talent of countless artists, actors, designers, and directors. With classic Shakespearean dialects applied to modern royalty, this fabulously entertaining live play appeals to the British royalty-obsessed and bardophiles among us, with the added bonus of viewing this auspicious production at the historic Sidney Harman Hall.
