Exit the King October 2, 2010

This September, TheatreWorks New Milford will present the absurdist comedy-drama, 'Exit The King,' by Eugene Ionesco. Nominated for four Tony Awards for its 2009 revival, 'Exit The King' is a brilliant and insightful tale of ego and mortality. King Berenger's kingdom is crumbling around him. Once, he ruled over an immense empire and commanded great armies, but now his kingdom has shrunk to the confines of his garden wall - even the royal washing machine has to be pawned. To make matters worse, His Majesty quickly learns that he will "die at the end of the play." Refusing to accept his end, he is attended by his present and former Queens who must help him face the final inevitable truth of life. 'Exit The King' is under the direction of Jane Farnol of Gaylordsville.
