Due to royal demand, Linus Karp’s DIANA: THE UNTOLD AND UNTRUE STORY is set to live stream

The brand-new hit show from harbingers of queer chaos Awkward Productions and Linus Karp, Diana: The  Untold and Untrue Story will present an interactive live stream from Belfast’s Accidental Theatre on 1 April.

Combining drag, multimedia, audience interaction, puppetry, and a lot of queer joy, this  unique celebration of the people’s princess is as hilarious as it is tasteless.  

Due to royal demand, the Belfast performance will be livestreamed for audiences who wish to join Diana live as she shares the untold and untrue tale of her extraordinary life. Live streaming audiences can reap all the hilarity of Diana’s audience participation through a live chat feature, with Lady Di interacting with viewers throughout the performance. Told through comedy, the show highlights Diana’s  ground-breaking stances on social and queer issues as well as her speaking her (un)truth and breaking free  from the Monarchy.  

Fun, stupid, queer, surprising, and livestreamed to the world – you have never seen the Queen of Hearts  like this. For those who cannot join live on 1 April, the live stream recording will be available to watch  afterwards via the Accidental Theatre website. This is a unique, accessible chance to meet the people’s  princess no matter where in the world you are! 

While Karp will bring Diana to life as the only actor on stage, other members of the royal family will appear  in multimedia videos, voice overs, as giant dolls and cardboard cut-outs. Geri Allen (Footloose, UK Tour) will  portray The Queen, Joseph Martin (Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds) voices Prince Charles, and Zina Badran  (Doctor Who, BBC) joins the cast to play God via interactive video clips. 

Linus Karp said: “Creating this show has been the most joyful experience – we have laughed  throughout the entire process and I am so excited to get to share my Diana with audiences. I have never  known reactions like this from a project. Let Diana’s reign commence!”
