Comedy
Archduke
Royal Court Theatre
Three young men in Belgrade, 1914, are offered a choice most people would turn down. Archduke is about what happens next. The beauty of it is that it doesn't explain itself: it trusts you to sit with the comedy and the dread at the same time. Royal Court's European premiere, built by people who make intelligent theatre: a Pulitzer finalist, a director known for keeping things moving, cast who slip between dark comedy and real tension without you noticing the join.
Pick it if you like theatre that doesn't apologise for its own ideas. It's quick-moving, clever without being showy, and it lands harder than you might expect.
