Prince George has become the subject of a new Broadway play with a very controversial plot in America. The play, titled Prince F*****, has been written by Canadian writer Jordan Tannahill.
It premiered this week at Playwrights Horizons. As reported by The Telegraph, the play is set in 2032 and sees 18-year-old Oxford student Prince George, nicknamed “Tips”, return home with an Indian boyfriend Dev.
The fictional play sees George played by British actor John McCrea, while the character of Dev is played by Mihir Kumar. The Prince and Princess of Wales are played by African-American actor K. Todd Freeman and transgender actress Rachel Crowl.
In the play, Dev is nervous about being brought to the UK to meet George’s parents, who he thinks may fear he will be “another Meghan”.
The play then includes scenes about the tabloid feeding frenzy that follows George’s relationship going public, which includes fury from Piers Morgan.
As reported by The Telegraph, audiences at Prince Faggot must place their phones in lockable Yondr pouches to prevent anyone taking pictures or videos as McCrea and Kumar appear naked during graphic sex scenes.
Other scenes show the pair trying poppers, acid and S&M fetish, as well as them having “kinky” fantasies.
The play is the latest example of a trend in America where the Royal Family are turned into a dramatised soap opera.
The Telegraph wrote: “This is the latest example of a peculiarly pervasive trend: Americans turning our royal family into an explicitly gay soap opera.”
Playwrights Horizons described the play on their website. They wrote: “In this meta-theatrical 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.
“Reckoning with how the forces of power, privilege, and colonization play upon queer lives, Prince Faggot is a raw and radical take on a queer coming of age.”
