Directed by Cedric Messina

Overview

Shaw’s comedy of ideologies looks forty years to the future at the impossibility of government as the British cabinet and monarchy face a day of “crisis” for the country. King Magnus is happy to engage a prime minister seeking to transform the nation into a constitutional monarchy, but who truly rules in this democracy: the king, the government or the businessmen? And do any of them care about the people?
