From Press Release
A PRINCE that claims “NO COLLUSION”, a FAIRY GODMOTHER out on bail for insider trading, a PRINCESS that works for the BRUTE SQUAD, and a whole lot of BOBS.
THE PRINCESS IS THE PAUPER is a rollicking fast-paced roller coaster of a political satire. Set in a mythical kingdom, after a popular people’s rebellion has ousted the former fairy tale administration. Our former Princess and recently-ousted King have to quickly adjust to the new normal, where the not-so-bright mob has taken over, and a less-than-noble ex-prince pulls the strings.
THE PRINCESS IS THE PAUPER is a brand spanking new play! First written in Toronto, then re-written 9000 kilometres away in Uruguay, specifically for this year’s Toronto Fringe Festival.
IT’S A BIG BIG BIG CAST! 12 actors playing over 40 characters in 60 minutes. Guaranteeing that the audience will never get bored. There’s lots of movements with over 30 scenes, tons of character changes, and a WTF interlude to boot. We’ve got a Princess and a King, a conniving ex-Prince, two fairy Godmothers, a Mirror, a Court Lamenter, a Witch, a giant cow, and a Mob full of Bobs.
