The People’s Princess is returning to the Edinburgh Fringe after selling out completely at the festival last year. Alongside viral sensation Gwyneth Goes Skiing, Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story is the second production Awkward Productions will take to the Fringe this summer.
After a sold-out Edinburgh Fringe run in 2023 (Winning the OffFest Award for Best Play and the prestigious LAURA Award), a UK tour and a London run at King’s Head Theatre this Spring, “the most unhinged piece of theatre in existence” (Broadway Baby) makes its triumphant return to Edinburgh for five nights only. Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story uniquely combines drag, multimedia, audience interaction, puppetry and queer joy for an unforgettable, untrue experience.
A cult-hit with audiences and critics alike for its unique audience participation and staggeringly camp portrayal of the royals, 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 an “outrageous triumph”. (Edgar Wright)
Linus Karp comments: “Doing this show at the Fringe 2023 changed our lives. I can not wait to experience being a Princess at the most Diconic festival in the world once again this Summer.”
