PRINCE FAGG*T to be Presented at Studio Seaview This Fall

Prince Faggot’s life and reach now expand as it becomes the second production from Seaview (following the Sam Gold-directed Angry Alan, starring John Krasinski) in their renovated Rem Koolhaas-designed theater, formerly the home of Second Stage.
 
What begins as a theatrical thought experiment—six queer and trans performers imagining themselves into a world of inherited power and royal expectation—quickly becomes a gloriously profane and surprisingly tender love story. Equal parts delicate and audacious, Prince Faggot takes on identity, inheritance, and all the beautiful, terrifying contradictions that come from living truthfully in a world built to contain you.
 
The ensemble cast features OBIE Award winner Rachel Crowl (Off-Broadway: Between Two Knees, TV: “The Sensitive Kind,” “New Amsterdam”) as Performer 3, Tony Award nominee K. Todd Freeman (Playwrights: Downstate; Broadway: The Minutes, Airline Highway, Song of Jacob Zulu, Wicked) as Performer 2, six-time OBIE Award winner David Greenspan (Soho Rep: Marie Antoinette; Playwrights: She Stoops to Comedy, Go Back to Where You Are, The Wax) as Performer 5, Mihir Kumar (TV: “And Just Like That,” “Elsbeth,” “Law and Order: SVU”) as Performer 1, Olivier Award nominee John McCrea (West End: Cabaret, Daddy - A Melodrama, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, The Busker’s Opera) as Performer 6, and N’yomi Allure Stewart (Off Broadway: A Raisin in the Sun, Richard III) as Performer 4. Tyrone Mitchell Henderson (Broadway: The Skin of Our Teeth; Off-Broadway: Hamlet, Redwood, Much Ado About Nothing) will play the role of Performer 2 until Friday, September 26, when K. Todd Freeman, who originated the role to acclaim, returns from directing Rajiv Joseph’s Mr. Wolf at Steppenwolf Theatre Company.
