After receiving its world premiere at London's Almeida Theater, King Charles III transferred to the West End, where it plays an extended run through Jan. 31. Rupert Goold (Enron, Macbeth) directs.

The play imagines a future when Prince Charles takes over the monarchy from his mother Queen Elizabeth.
