ETHAN MCSWEENY
The story of an incognito king and his forbidden love for the wife of a banished revolutionary.
This dazzling verse romance by the precocious 24-year old author was never published until it appeared in a Russian literary journal in 1997. Written in astonishingly exquisite verse, the play explores this great writer’s major themes: intense sexual desire and jealousy, the elusiveness of happiness, the power of the imagination, and the eternal battle between truth and fantasy—all through the prism of Shakespearean tragedy.

Satirizing religious hypocrisy, middle-class British morality, and blind faith in authority, Orton’s wicked stew of Oscar Wilde and Kafka is sexy, sharp-witted, and shocking.

“People are profoundly bad, but irresistibly funny.”– Joe Orton
