"Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George! 🎂" This celebration is marked with a new photo shared by his parents, showing George in a brown vest on a fence.

The play's title operates as a useful sorting device, sifting for audiences who are familiar with the way that the slur has been reclaimed or who are happy to bask in full-frontal sexual tableaux.
