Exit the King

The party's over. People know that but carry on as if they didn't... He needs to fix his eyes forward... keep the end in sight

This absurdist exploration of ego and morality is set in the crumbling throne-room of the palace in an unnamed country where King Berenger the First has only the duration of the play to live. Once, it seemed he ruled over an immense empire and commanded great armies, now his kingdom has shrunk to the confines of his garden wall. Refusing to accept his end, he is attended by his present and former Queens who must help him face the final inevitable truth of life: death.
