Independent Shakespeare Company presents a workshop presentation of

Three Kings

Written by Desa Larkin-Boutté

Directed by Anna Ramey Borden

Three Kings returns to ISC’s Studio! They hosted two initial readings in the Fall of 2024, and are excited to be part of the next step in the process.

THREE KINGS centers around a “just off reality” future when Heir Apparent to the British Throne, Prince George mysteriously appears on his estranged cousin Prince Archie’s L.A. doorstep. Archie lives with his entrepreneurial Cousin Tre, who loves Archie and hates The Crown. Having grown up seas and worlds apart and now in close quarters, the three cousins are forced to discover each other’s vices and prejudices as they are confronted with their own definitions of race, privilege, and what it means to be family.
