Who Would Be King - 2017 - Off-Broadway History , Info & More

Ars Nova
511 W. 54th St. New York, NY 10019

Violence and betrayal, angels and prophets, villains and kings...and chickens. Who rises to rule and how far will he fall in the great clown kingdom of Who Would Be King? This epic production by Liars & Believers swings from absurd buffoonery to high tragedy, with kinetic physicality, silliness, swords, and live synthwave music. Who Would Be King tells the story of a good man given an impossible task and asks, what separates good from great and what lies in the chasm between?
