Theater Thursday - Archduke

We received complimentary tickets to Archduke for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own. 

What: Archduke 

Where: Laura Pels Theatre

              111 W. 46th St.

              New York, NY

Archduke reimagines Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassin, Gavrilo Princip, and his fellow revolutionaries as unfortunate, gullible teenagers goaded and beguiled into action by the charismatic Dragutin Dimitrijević. The latter is played by the brilliantly talented Patrick Page, always a force to be reckoned with in any of his roles but even more so here.  Princip and his fellow revolutionaries are played by Jake Berne, Adrien Rolet, and Jason Sanchez, respectively, all of whom are making their Off-Broadway debuts. Rolet is, in fact, making his professional debut. The three hold their own nicely opposite the formidable Page. The final member of the cast is Kristine Nielsen. She provides comic relief in this mostly dark show in a delightfully amusing turn as Dimitrijević's servant Sladjana. 

And that's our view. For more about Archduke or to purchase tickets, visit www.roundabouttheatre.org/get-tickets/2025-2026-season/archduke
