The Prince (2023). 2h 1m

“Fantastically metatextual, witty, funny, sexy, irreverent and profound – a love letter to Shakespeare and theatre, and a startlingly deep-hitting piece about identity, societal roles, choices and family. Without spoiling any elements of the plot, The Prince has one of the best comments on the u0026quot;honourableu0026quot; death since Wilfred Owen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s a big sappy theatre nerd inside me, Iu0026#39;ve watched Abigail Thorneu0026#39;s content for years, so I expected an enjoyable experience-The Prince exceeded all expectations – and thereu0026#39;s plenty to enjoy even for people who arenu0026#39;t big fans of Shakespeare, or theatre period. I watched it together with my pen-and-paper group and it was unanimously well-received despite our varied tastes in media.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThey did some fantastic lightwork and inventive decision with the limited, quite spartan scene set. The whole of the cast is marvellous.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWorth supporting for just the potential it represents, for new and inventive productions to fund themselves and reach an audience.”
