EXIT THE KING stars Geoffrey Rush, Susan Sarandon, Lauren Ambrose, AndRea Martin, William Sadler and Brian Hutchison. Eugene Ionesco's classic comedy is directed by Neil Armfield, and translated by Armfield and Rush.

EXIT THE KING is a hilarious and poignant comedy about a megalomaniacal ruler, King Berenger (Rush) whose incompetence has left his country in near ruin. Despite the efforts of Queen Marguerite (Sarandon) and the other members of the court to convince the King he has only 90 minutes left to live, he refuses to relinquish any control.

The design team for EXIT THE KING includes Dale Ferguson (Set & Costume), Damien Cooper (Lighting), Russell Goldsmith (Sound) and John Rodgers (Composer).

Geoffrey Rush is appearing with the permission of Actors' Equity Association.
