Jay Lerner-Z said: "It’d be nice if the Royal Family as an institution stopped existing. Then maybe Prince George, and all future Prince Georges, could live in peace and privacy.
Does the play cover that side of things…?"
As someone who liked the play, I did keep thinking that a lot of the conflict would be resolved if the dismantled the Monarchy. Instead, the play leans into the idea that we would be better off if we were all princes and princesses.
the very mixed response on this board is so different than the response from my friends who almost universally thought it to be thought provoking. But, hey, I liked Slave Play too.
The post popper sex scene really took me out of the play. I mean, they didn’t even shower or wipe themselves off before joining William and Kate for breakfast. Now that was shocking.

Thanks. It'd be nice if the bigotry stirred up by a gay King at least lead to the downfall of this medieval cosplay sect. A heavy price to pay for the victim, what a curse to be born into.

I am CACKLING. Dev was just preparing George for the real world where there aren’t showers after marathon chemsex. Makes complete dramaturgical sense

Last night they did use towels to wipe themselves off. Not sure if that’s new or not.

The monarchy really lives royalty-free in your head, doesn't it? Fascinating.

Monarchy is indeed fascinating, yes. How on earth do they still exist in the modern world?
I don't know what you find bizarre about this, but okay. The British monarchy lives rent-free in a lot of people heads.

I never used the word bizarre. I said fascinating because I don't think I've ever encountered someone who so regularly raises the subject and criticizes the monarchy. And i live in London almost 50% of the time.

What is bizarre here is your obsession with picking apart almost everything a fellow BWW member has to say. Truly weird.

I find it bizarre that you needed to react in this manner to my mere expression of curiosity that one poster is so obsessed with the British monarchy and comments on it so regularly.
Nothing in my original post was "picking anything apart."
I did react to the word choice of bizarre in Jay's response to me because that in my mind is a judgmental/critical term and did not reflect the fact that I was, and remain, genuinely fascinated about the frequent posting on the British monarchy.

When one obsesses over The Monarchy on a theater board, people will notice because it's just a little strange.

If the comments are in a thread about a play focusing on a member of the royal family, or another thread on the off-topic board specifically about the royal family, then it's not even slightly strange, much less obsessive.

Prince William wants to reform the monarchy, he wonders if it is fit for purpose. A scoop from Eugene Levy.
This gives me hope, him being heir to the throne and all. I imagine plays like Prince Faggot cause him genuine concern for his loved ones.
Admirable.

Finally saw this play. I see everything at PH except the one man shows. I didn’t see Prince Faggot there because i couldn’t get a cheap ticket and there was so much buzz about it transferring, I thought I’ll wait.
So much hype for nothing. The play sucks. It’s all surface level nonsense. It’s confused and doesn’t really get into any real political debate. I think the only thing I really enjoyed was the final monologue to conclude the play by the girl playing Charlotte and the maid. About how she’s a queen, a title given to her by her colleagues. Horrible horrible horrible play, all style, no substance, everything is a distraction from the dreadful writing. We cannot allow these plays to skate by on themes and style. I’m also over the breaking the fourth wall to talk to the audience. What is this trend of plays telling us, not showing us. And using theater as some sort of metaphor? It was also dull. At least if it was funny and exciting, but even there it sucked. It never took off at all. Terrible Canadian play, if you want to see great drama, go see a great American play like Liberation by Bess Wohl (yes I know there’s narration), and Practice by Nazarath Hassan

I should know better than to interact with this latest avatar but…good God, get a grip, girl.
What are you even talking about? This show is meant to be a thought experiment curated by a queer writer and queer performers, and they say as much in the prologue. It’s not supposed to be a political debate, you twit.
Also, “we can’t allow these plays to skate by on themes and style”? Okay…then go read a novel. What do you think theatre is? Be so serious right now…

I just love how they're using Canadian as a slur now.

Prince faggot isn’t supposed to be political debate? What do you think the prince and the character of dev represent? The entire play is political. Please tell us you’re clueless about theater without saying it.
