The Women of Prince Faggot Take Center Stage

By Leah Abrams

It’s hard to recommend a play whose name you can’t say out loud. “You have to see Prince…um….” I found myself sputtering countless times last week. “Prince F-slur.”

The play, which imagines Britain’s Prince George coming out as gay about 10 years in the future, is making headlines in spite—or maybe, in part, because—of its provocative title. After a sold-out summer run at Playwrights Horizons/Soho Rep, during which it was (fittingly) crowned a New York Times Critic’s Pick, Prince Faggot has returned Off Broadway for a second staging at Studio Seaview through November 9.

Much of the coverage has rightfully focused on the titular prince, played by John McCrea, and his lover Dev (a ravishing Mihir Kumar). But the heart of the play is held in the hands—or, rather, fists, to borrow a double entendre from the show—of the cast’s women: Rachel Crowl as Kate, Princess of Wales, and N’yomi Allure Stewart as her daughter, Charlotte. As George’s mother and sister, they ground the play in emotional reality, whether it’s Charlotte and George sharing a cigarette outside their grandfather’s funeral or Kate walking out in her pajamas when her son comes home high at 4 a.m. Between scenes, they break through the fourth wall to deliver monologues of their own, including the play’s final coda (which Stewart developed herself in collaboration with playwright Jordan Tannahill).

I have met Rachel Crowl when her wife came to Connecticut Outreach Society banquet for the keynote, her wife wrote the book "My Husband Betty".
