"Jordan Tannahill' s jaw-dropping new drama has a homophobic slur in the title - and that's not the only provocative or profane thing about it. British monarchy watchers are sure to clutch their pearls with the play's main premise about the future king of England being openly gay, having a headline-grabbing romance with an Indian man and performing raw sex acts on stage. But star N'yomi Allure Stewart presents another aspect of royalty and LGBTQ+ culture just as fascinating."
""As long as I've known it, it's been that, and I've never felt any way about it, it kind of intrigued me," she shared. "I was really intrigued by the title and just the reclaiming of anything. I think I'm typically on the side of reclaiming words for our own usage. I don't know what makes me feel connected to that, but I do."
Highlights include N'yomi Allure Stewart's breakout role in Jordan Tannahill's NSFW-titled play, the Thelonious Monk Festival, and an aerial circus show focused on mental health. Jordan Tannahill's drama contains a homophobic slur in its title and imagines a future king of England who is openly gay, pursues a headline-making romance with an Indian man, and performs explicit sex acts onstage. N'yomi Allure Stewart, a 27-year-old ballroom figure and mother of House of Unbothered Cartier, plays four different roles and has been involved since a Robert O'Hara workshop. Stewart expresses no apprehension about the title and frames reclaiming language as powerful. Free events include an immersive roller-skating experience and a not-so-spooky Halloween puppet show at Hudson Yards.
