Jordan Tannahill's play 'Prince Faggot' explores themes of identity and representation by starting from a photo of Prince George in 2017. It captures a moment where actors discuss the implications of interpreting a child's innocence through sexual connotations. The play navigates the complexities of social media discourse and the culture surrounding masculinity and queerness, questioning societal norms around royalty and identity. Through humor and introspection, it confronts the intersection between public figures and personal identity, urging the audience to reflect on how representation shapes perceptions.
Are representation and resemblance their own mandate of heaven? Or, as Jordan Tannahill's Prince Faggot puts it, what would happen if, just a few steps down the line of inheritance, there were a guy who loved being a little bitch in bed?
Tannahill's first scene has all the fervor and self-righteousness you might expect from social media: A sextet of actors in their street clothes... discussing how, in that photo, the future king looked very, well, you know ... gay.
