King John • ONLINE • Mountain Time


Details
Join us to read—out loud and in community— Shakespeare's play of The Life and Death of King John.
AI says: This is a historical drama that explores themes of power, legitimacy, and loyalty. The play focuses on the turbulent reign of King John of England, whose claim to the throne is challenged by his sister-in-law for her son Arthur, backed by France. Political alliances shift as King Philip of France and John engage in battles and negotiations, with the Church and other factions influencing events. Betrayals, the capture and death of Arthur, and the pressure of rebellion weaken John’s rule. Amidst the chaos, the play examines the fragility of authority and the human cost of political ambition.
