First Off, this play really has a PR challenge with its name.  Even the users at the theatre were reluctant to incant the word Faggot.  Perhaps that was the goal of the production.  BUT it is going to make it more challenging for the public.  The premise of the story is based on the pre-adolescent pictures of the gay/transexual cast of Prince Faggot.  They project these pictures at the top of the show and note that even in those very young pictures it was clear that they were gay.  Then they quickly bring up a very cute, effeminate photo of Prince George.  This leads them to speculate – only speculate – “what if we had a gay king”. How would that change things?
