Roundabout Completes Casting for Rajiv Joseph's 'Archduke' at Laura Pels Theatre

Darko Tresnjak directs the New York premiere, a darkly comic look at Franz Ferdinand's assassin.

Overview

  • Jake Berne will play Gavrilo, with Kristine Nielsen as Sladjana, Adrien Rolet as Trifko, and Jason Sanchez as Nedeljko, joining Patrick Page as Dragutin 'Apis' Dimitrijevic.
  • Previews begin October 23 with an official opening on November 12, and the limited engagement runs through December 21, 2025.
  • Performances are scheduled at Roundabout's Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre in New York City.
  • The creative team features scenic design by Alexander Dodge, costumes by Linda Cho, lighting by Matthew Richards, sound by Jane Shaw, hair and wigs by Tom Watson, and fight direction by Rocio Mendez.
  • Production materials describe the play as a humanizing, irreverent retelling that views Gavrilo Princip and his cohort as disillusioned youths rather than hardened killers.
