Archduke​

Laura Pels Theater in the Harold & Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre

Directed by Darko Tresnjak

By Rajiv Joseph

Starring Tony award nominee Patrick Page​​​

 

Directed by Darko Tresnjak, this darkly comic and unexpectedly human take rewinds history to reveal the fateful journey of Gavrilo Princip—best remembered as Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassin—and his fellow revolutionaries in a new light. Here, we see the late teens not as hardened killers, but as a ragtag group of dreamers swept up in forces beyond their control, and in dire need of a sandwich.

 

With razor-sharp humor, gripping tension, and an irreverence that keeps you on your toes, Archduke transforms a pivotal moment in world history into an electrifying theatrical experience—one that feels unexpectedly urgent and strikingly relevant in an era of disillusioned young men searching for purpose.
