Kitchener 
Events Description
When two trans women, Sam and Jen, find themselves trapped in a multiverse of Shakespeare’s plays, they have to find their way through a mess of monologues and iambic pentameter to escape back to the real world. With only King Henry IV Part 1 between them and freedom, it should be a simple matter of keeping their heads low, playing their roles, and never breaking the rhythm, but when Jen starts to notice that Henry ‘Hotspur’ Percy doesn’t want to play it by the script, they’re left to wonder – are they really the only ones down there?
A madcap exploration of Shakespeare and gender with a mix between the Bard’s work and Abigail Thorn’s original verse and prose, The Prince is a show full of swords, lesbians, and disappointed parents, and asks us to consider what it really means to play out a role in today’s society.
KWLT’s production of The Prince is the Canadian premiere of the play and Eliza Grafton’s main stage directorial debut, so come join us in the round as we experience Shakespeare like never before!
