Prince Faggot by Jordan Tannahill

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 colonisation play upon queer lives.

The play was first staged at Playwrights Horizons in New York in 2025.

‘A natural storyteller with a strong sense of narrative rhythm as well as the ability to launch into almost mystical flights of poetic vision’ — Toronto Star
