In this metatheatrical tragicomedy, an ensemble of queer and trans performers cast themselves in a thought experiment, imagining the future heir to the British throne as having a life resembling their own. Jordan Tannahill, one of Canada’s most acclaimed playwrights, takes no prisoners in this ferociously audacious what-if, brimming with unbridled sexuality, wit, and imagination.
A poppers-fuelled phantasmagoria interwoven with personal stories and ecstatic fantasies, Prince Faggot reckons with how the forces of power, privilege, and colonization play upon queer lives.
Cast size: 6 actors

“If you’re on the prowl for a horny, thought-provoking play that’s as academic as it is avant-garde, Jordan Tannahill has written just the script for you!”
- Cosmopolitan
“A natural storyteller with a strong sense of narrative rhythm as well as the ability to launch into almost mystical flights of poetic vision.”
- Alex Good, Toronto Star
“Prince Faggot is meta-theater at its best and most thought-provoking.”
