Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story has premiered in London and will go on to tour the UK.

Combining drag, multimedia, audience interaction, puppetry and a lot of queer joy – this unique celebration of the people’s princess promises to be hilarious and tasteless.

The story gives us 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.

The show is created by Linus Karp – he first hit our radar with his production of Awkward Conversations With Animals I’ve Fucked, and he’s also created a piece of theatre around the movie musical of Cats.

“Even 25 years after her death Diana is a cultural icon, an era defining star and a social media meme Queen…” explains Linus Karp. “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.”

Karp will bring Diana to life on stage – other members of the royal family will appear in video, voiceover, giant dolls, and cardboard cutouts.

If you loved The Crown on Netflix, then maybe this isn’t for you – or maybe it’s exactly what you’ve been looking for.
