Production history

The play is directed by Michael Fentiman and was written by Bert Tyler-Moore and the late comedy writer George Jeffrie, who died on 19 September 2020 after writing the first draft of the script. The live show stars Harry Enfield, who reprises the role of the Charles from the TV sitcom, a character who is now seen in the production as the King.

Reviews

Arifa Akbar in The Guardian gave The Windsors: Endgame a one star review and said that the spin-off was "akin to seeing Sex and the City: The Movie" with her high expectation "met by crashing disappointment", while the two star review in The Telegraph by Clive Davis stated that the play failed "to make use of its prime asset, Harry Enfield".
