Sinopsis
Mike Bartlett's controversial 'future history play' explores the people beneath the crowns, the unwritten rules of our democracy, and the conscience of Britain's most famous family. Queen Elizabeth II is dead. After a lifetime of waiting, her son ascends the throne., A future of power. But how to rule? Drawing on the style and structure of a Shakespearean history play, King Charles III opened at London's Almeida Theatre, directed by its Artistic Director Rupert Goold, in 2014, before transferring to the West End.

Críticas
Flat out brilliant... dazzlingly presumptuous... takes all manner of audacious license, poetic and otherwise... an intellectually and emotionally gripping study of the strangely enduring anachronism that is the British monarchy and of the contemporary, star-struck world that can still find room for its royals... This splendid, high-reaching and utterly unexpected play. --The New York Times on the Broadway premiere.
It looks like a nifty little joke - a mock-Shakespearean history play, written almost entirely in blank verse, looking ahead to the heir apparent's ascension but it turns out to be much, much more. It turns out to be a takedown of the entire British establishment: monarchy, parliament, aristocracy, armed forces, media. In fact, it turns out to be the best British play since Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem. -- Matt Trueman
The most spectacular, gripping and wickedly entertaining piece of lèse-majesté that British theatre has ever seen... Blessed with wit, clarity and moments of deeper feeling. Outstanding and provocative... There is barely a moment when the fizz goes out of the writing and the narrative keeps springing surprises.... Tremendous. --Telegraph
Bold, brilliant and unstoppably entertaining... all the intrigue and forward momentum of a real history play. The grandeur too... King Charles III makes us care, makes us laugh, and no doubt will make us argue too. Theatre doesn't get much better than this. --The Times
A meaty, hilarious, dizzyingly audacious state of the nation political thriller... Elevates the tawdriness of the Royal soap opera into something sublime and serious... A thrilling working through of ideas about modern Britain. --Time Out
Pitch-perfect... Bracingly provocative and outrageously entertaining. --Financial Times
Brilliantly ambitious... deliciously smart... [the] script is a witty amalgam of Shakespearean rhythms and sharp modern colloquialisms threaded with light allusions to some of the Bard's greatest hits... Bartlett has found the perfect form for grappling with some of the doubts clouding our immediate national horizon... it's a compelling start to a fresh national conversation about monarchy, democracy and that most elusive and problematic of qualities - Britishness. --Exeunt Magazine
