After taking part in to sold-out Edinburgh Fringe audiences throughout August, the People’s Princess goes again on tour this autumn, coming to Òran Mór on 1st November.
Labelled “the most unhinged piece of theatre in existence” (Broadway Baby) and dropped at life by author and performer Linus Karp (tips on how to stay a jellicle life: life classes from the 2019 hit film musical ‘cats’), Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story uniquely combines drag, multimedia, viewers interplay, puppetry and queer pleasure, highlighting Diana’s ground-breaking stances on social and queer points and permitting her to talk her (un)fact in breaking free from the monarchy.
Linus Karp feedback: “Last November we opened this show in a 70-seat venue in London. A year later I am performing at Clapham Grand, ten times the capacity. I can’t believe the journey this show has taken me on already and am so thrilled audiences across the UK are so hungry for a show full of queer joy and the magical power of Princess Diana. Let’s go girls.”

Geri Allen (Operation Mincemeat, Fortune Theatre) portrays The Queen and Zina
Badran (Doctor Who, BBC) joins as God, each by way of interactive video clips. The remaining supporting solid is completely different each single present – resulting from it being performed by viewers members.
