Archduke

Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph (_Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo_) brings his signature wit and imagination to the New York premiere of _**Archduke**_. <br> 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. <br> 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.
