ARCHDUKE

About the show

Belgrade, 1914. Three hungry young men are offered something to eat (and the chance to change the course of history). Their mission: kill Archduke Franz Ferdinand and set the century alight. Leading the cast are stars of stage, screen and comedy: Olivier Award winner Chris Walley (The Lieutenant of Inishmore, The Young Offenders), Abraham Popoola (Shiver), Stanley Morgan (The Little Foxes), Janice Connolly (Phoenix Nights, Mrs Barbara Nice) and British Comedy Award winner Marc Wootton (Nativity!, Till The Stars Come Down). Sharp, funny and dangerously timely, Archduke blends biting wit with mounting tension in a thrilling new production for an age of restless young men. From Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph (Guards at the Taj, Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo), Lyndsey Turner (The Crucible, 1536) directs this European premiere, designed by Es Devlin (The Lehman Trilogy).
