Shaw Festival’s ‘The Apple Cart’ is a startling speculative fiction that makes the case for the monarchy
And now at the Shaw Festival, he has transformed into an idealistic British monarch confronting an institution-threatening crisis in George Bernard Shaw’s “The Apple Cart.”

That these speeches are always compelling is a testament to Rooney’s skill.
