Wiki.
The Prince is a play by Abigail Thorn in which characters from William Shakespeare's plays realise they are trapped in a performance and try to escape. The play ran at the Southwark Playhouse from 19 September 2022 to 8 October and a filmed version was released to the streaming service Nebula on 16 February 2023.
The play had a majority transgender cast and took inspiration from Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Thorn remarked that Shakespeare often cast men curious about gender, which inspired the transgender allegory in the play. The Prince garnered several awards from The Offies and BroadwayWorld as well as mixed reviews from critics, who praised its approach to Shakespeare and its transgender themes but critiqued certain plot elements.
