Reviews: Charles III by Mike Bartlett

“King Charles III”: Uneasy May Lie the Head But Tim Pigott-Smith Reigns By Wilborn Hampton for The Huffington Post, 2 November 2015 Short of discovering a long-lost Shakespeare play, Mike Bartlett’s King Charles III is about as close as one can hope to get to a modern-day Shakespearean drama.
