Awkward Productions’ royal hit, Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story, is back on a UK tour by popular demand, following its world tour this spring. The show, featuring Linus Karp as the People’s Princess, will visit Manchester, London, Brighton, Bristol, Newcastle, and the Edinburgh Fringe.
This is the first time the show will tour the UK with special multimedia appearances from Jeanna de Waal (Diana: The Musical) and Rob Madge (My Son’s a Queer), the latter voicing Mother Teresa.
Awkward Productions’ multiple award-winning, Edinburgh Fringe 2023 sell-out show, Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story, became an immediate cult hit with UK audiences for its unique audience participation and staggeringly camp portrayal of the royals. The show has won an OffFest Award for Best Play and the prestigious LAURA Award and has enjoyed two UK Tours, multi-week runs in London, and, as of this year, a World Tour across four continents.
Through a comedic and unhinged lens, the show highlights Diana’s ground-breaking stances on social and queer issues and allows her to finally speak her (un)truth and break free from the monarchy. Told by Diana from heaven, Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story is “so much more than just a show. It’s an experience. It’s a lifestyle. It is the moment” (The Reviews Hub – ★★★★★).
Linus Karp, the show’s writer, director, and Diana, comments, “Having had the most ridiculous time taking this show around the world, we knew we had to bring this latest version back home to the UK. It’s going to be diconic.”
