“Fierce and funny in equal measure.”
SARA HOLDREN, NEW YORK MAGAZINE / VULTURE
“Under Darko Tresnjak's robust, witty direction of an impeccable cast, Rajiv Joseph's ARCHDUKE is deeply poignant and unexpectedly uplifting.”
ELYSA GARDNER, THE NEW YORK SUN
Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph (Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo) brings his signature wit and imagination to the New York premiere of Archduke.
Directed by Tony Award® winner Darko Tresnjak (A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder) and featuring Jake Berne, Tony nominee Kristine Nielsen, Tony nominee Patrick Page, Adrien Rolet, and Jason Sanchez, this darkly comic play follows Gavrilo Princip, better known as the assassin of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and his fellow revolutionaries, reimagined not as masterminds but rather a hapless, helpless band of teenagers.
With razor-sharp humor, Archduke transforms a pivotal moment in global politics into an absurdly relevant theatrical experience, reminding us that too often history is written by the least qualified recruits.
Running time: 2 hours, including a 15-minute intermission.
Please be advised: This production contains haze and strobe light effects.
