Jordan Tannahill's "Prince Faggot," co-produced by Soho Rep and Playwrights Horizons, explores themes of identity and acceptance against a backdrop of a future-set royal family in England. With stunning visual direction by Shayok Misha Chowdhury, the narrative engages with the complexities of familial relationships and societal norms through an erotic lens. The play centers on a dinner meeting between Prince George and his boyfriend Dev, challenging each character's beliefs and biases. The staging, notably provocative, invites the audience to reflect on the reclamation of slurs and the role of sexuality in contemporary narratives.
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.
The young man in the ropes is not just a character in bondage; he's the heroic nude, an icon of tension and surrender. Kink is so old, it's classical.
