Pleasance extends London run of Linus Karp's DIANA: THE UNTOLD AND UNTRUE STORY

The brand-new show from harbingers of queer chaos Awkward Productions and Linus Karp, Diana: The  Untold and Untrue Story has extended its London run at Pleasance Theatre until 26 November.

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. 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 full of audience participation – you have never seen the Queen of Hearts  like this.  

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 cutouts. Geri Allen (Footloose, UK Tour) portrays The Queen, Joseph Martin (Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds) voices Prince Charles, and Zina Badran  (Doctor Who, BBC) plays 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!”

The production is designed by Amy Pitt, with choreography by Sam Carlyle, composition and graphic design by Wez Maddocks, and lighting by Ebbe Rodtborg.
