The Apple Cart

In a not-so-distant future, King Magnus of England finds himself on the defensive. His cabinet, led by a formidable Prime Minister, demands he cease meddling in political affairs, threatening to reduce the monarchy to a mere ceremonial role. As his mistress, his Queen, and the American ambassador observe, a high-stakes battle of wits unfolds: who truly holds the reins of power—the King, the democratically elected government, or the ominous, omnipresent corporation, Breakages, Limited? Shaw masterfully dissects the machinery of state, revealing the subtle (and not-so-subtle) power struggles that dictate a nation's fate.
