'Once Upon a Mattress' & 'King Charles III'

We welcome actors Jackie Hoffman, John "Lypsinka" Epperson, and Jason SweetTooth Williams from the cast of the Transport Group's hit revival of “The Princess and the Pea” - based classic musical “Once Upon A Mattress,” now at the Abrons Arts Center.
Next up, we have a conversation with three principals now appearing in “King Charles III,” Mike Bartlett's futuristic play about Britain's conflicted future King and his problematic family. Our guests are Tim Pigott-Smith (who plays the title role), Oliver Chris and Richard Goulding (playing his sons William and Harry). The trio discuss this critically-acclaimed British import and why it is still desirable for the UK to maintain a royal family in the Twenty-First Century.

Saw this years ago and curiously Harry marries a black woman

Was enjoying this until Oliver Chris started spouting on about the monarchy attracting tourist dollars. Spurious argument - France is the #1 tourist destination in the world.

The Royal Family absolutely do bring in a huge amount of money in the UK via tourism

The UK without the Monarchy will not be as attractive.

poor king charles, sad as can be
had camilla over for tea
bemoaned the fate of the monarchy
peopled by what he termed "mediocrity"
oh wait said charles
don't include me
