UK tour announced for Linus Karp's DIANA: THE UNTOLD AND UNTRUE STORY

A brand-new show that brings all the queer chaos people have come to expect from Awkward Productions  and Linus Karp, Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story will tour the UK from this 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. 

Join Diana in heaven as she shares the untold and untrue tale of her extraordinary life. 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 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: “Even 25 years after her death Diana is a cultural icon, an era defining star and a  social media meme Queen. Her legacy outlives her amazing achievements and even the truth, as she’s  become as much myth as celebrity. Toying with multiple performance forms as well as the truth itself, we  have created a ridiculous celebration of her – as unique as Diana herself.”

The show will open at the Pleasance from 8 November before visiting Oxford, Bristol, York, Nottingham, Cambridge, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Penzance, Poole, Belfast, London and Norwich.
