Director Neil Armfield and star Rush penned the new adaptation of Eugene Ionesco's classic comedy.
According to the producers, Exit the King centers on "a megalomaniacal ruler, King Berenger (Rush) whose incompetence has left his country in near ruin. Despite the efforts of Queen Marguerite (Sarandon) and the other members of the court to convince the King he has only 90 minutes left to live, he refuses to relinquish any control."
