Theatre Coup d'Etat to Present Virtual Reading of EXIT THE KING Image

Join Theatre Coup d'Etat in a virtual reading of Exit the King by Eugene Ionesco on Wednesday, May 27 at 7:15pm CST!

FEATURING Brian Joyce - GUARD Christine Walth - JULIETTE Matt Saxe - DOCTOR Eva Gemlo - QUEEN MARIE Lolly Foy - QUEEN MARGUERITE Alan Tilson - KING

The company wanted to explore the play's poignancy of our world and the navigation of one's morality while enjoying some absurd laugh lines. Exit the King (French: Le Roi se meurt) is an absurdist drama by Eugène Ionesco that premiered in 1962. It is the third in Ionesco's "Berenger Cycle", preceded by The Killer (1958) and Rhinocéros (1959), and followed by A Stroll in the Air (1963).
