Prince F*ggot Tickets

See Jordan Tannahill’s riveting new play about privilege, power, and princes of faggotry. A co-production with Soho Rep., Prince F*ggot plays for a limited run this spring at Playwrights Horizons’ intimate Peter Jay Sharp Theater.

What might a ruling class of lesbian, gay, trans, and queer people look like? Experience Prince F*ggot off Broadway to find out: Tannahill’s rapturous and probing new play is a meta-theatrical satire in which an ensemble of queer, trans, and nonbinary performers reckon with how the forces of power, privilege, and colonization play upon their lives.

Riffing on monarchies’ absolute power, Prince F*ggot dares to imagine one where a ruler is as queer as the playwright. The result? A hilarious and theatrical dismantling of power and privilege.

A rising writer for TV and theatre, Tannahill is “a natural storyteller with a strong sense of narrative rhythm as well as the ability to launch into almost mystical flights of poetic vision,” per the Toronto Star.

His novels and plays have been translated into twelve languages and honored with a number of prizes including two Governor General’s Literary Awards, Canada’s highest state honor for literature. “Tannahill possesses a powerful artistic voice that reflects where we come from, who we are and who we may become,” the Governor General’s Literary Award wrote for his prize in 2018.

Pulitzer Prize finalist Shayok Misha Chowdhury directs Tannahill’s new play. Chowdhury won an Obie Award for directing the world premiere of his playwriting debut, Public Obscenities, which had an extended run in New York last season. Now, these two shining voices, both known for their kaleidoscopic look at queerness, unite on this expansive, intriguing, and singular satire.
