Archduke at Capital Stage

Archduke

by Rajiv Joseph

Directed by Michael Stevenson
October 11 – November 12, 2023
Sacramento Premiere

Three hapless and hungry young men fumble their way through history as they take on a mission of martyrdom. Are they fighting for Serb independence or a sandwich? Patriotism or pudding? With Archduke Franz Ferdinand as their target, a depraved Captain sends Gavrilo, Nedeljko, and Trifko on a darkly comedic journey towards immortality.

“Joseph uses history to tell a story about the contemporary moment. The comic energy carries its characters to their tragic finish line and the last scene is perfection!” —LOS ANGELES TIMES
