In this metatheatrical tragicomedy, an ensemble of queer and trans performers cast themselves in a thought experiment, imagining the future heir to the British throne as having a life resembling their own. Jordan Tannahill, one of Canada's most acclaimed playwrights, takes no prisoners in this ferociously audacious what-if, brimming with unbridled sexuality, wit, and imagination. A poppers-fuelled phantasmagoria interwoven with personal stories and ecstatic fantasies, Prince Faggot reckons with how the forces of power, privilege, and colonization play upon queer lives.
• Troye Sivan was in the original workshop of this play, and Jordan met his husband Brandon Flynn when Flynn performed in the second workshop of this play.
• First produced by Playwrights Horizons and Soho Rep by special arrangement with Jeremy O. Harris and Josh Godfrey of bb² in New York City from June 19 to July 6, 2025.

"Tannahill possesses a powerful artistic voice that reflects where we come from, who we are and who we may become."
"A natural storyteller with a strong sense of narrative rhythm as well as the ability to launch into almost mystical flights of poetic vision."
"Prince Faggot aims to shock. But the real surprise is how good it is."
"If you're on the prowl for a horny, thought-provoking play that's as academic as it is avant-garde, Jordan Tannahill has written just the script for you!"
"Prince Faggot is meta-theater at its best and most thought-provoking."
