"The Apple Cart" is a satirical play written by George Bernard Shaw, first performed in 1929. It presents a humorous and critical look at politics, power, and the role of monarchy in society. Set in a fictional country called "England in the Future, " the play revolves around King Magnus, a progressive and charismatic monarch who seeks to modernize and democratize the monarchy.
