“King Charles III,” a play with an audacious plot about the British royalty opened in London to glowing, if somewhat scandalized, reviews. The New York Times reported the new play by Mike Bartlett imagines Charles as paranoid and power obsessed, dissolving Parliament and parking a tank outside Buckingham Palace. Prince William’s steely and pragmatic wife, Kate, plays a decisive role in saving the monarchy and preventing civil war. Ads for the play – showing the real Prince Charles dressed for his coronation – were banned until replaced with a heavily pixelated version. Most advance tickets have already sold out. Written like a Shakespearean play, NYT said it “explores what might happen if a British monarch bucked centuries of tradition and refused to rubber-stamp the will of Parliament.”
