The play’s the thing wherein a theatre director has caught an invite from a King!

Jake Murray will enjoy a Shakespeare performance with King Charles at Windsor Castle during Durham’s Summer of Shakespeare—which runs from July 8–30.

Elysium Theatre Company, Durham Fringe Festival and Durham University bring a variety of Shakespeare’s plays to life to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the first publication of The Bard’s First Folio.

Due to championing the works, Murray, artistic director at Elysium, will enjoy a performance on July 18, alongside King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
