The Prince’s Quest
A queer-positive spin on the traditional fairytale.
Overview
The world is awash with revamped versions of fairytales these days; Snow White is now a warrior princess, Rapunzel is actually about a thief, and Hansel and Gretel... well let's not get into that.
But there's one twist we haven't seen yet: what if Prince Charming was gay? The Prince's Quest, on as part of Midsumma, aims to redress the imbalance in the fairytale kingdom by bringing you a queer-positive version of the classic witches, wizards, and princesses tale. Throw in a few original musical numbers from the adorable Rosie Burgess, and you have a pretty sweet lo-fi theatre package.
Though the full version of the show promises to come good with the nudge-nudge wink-wink jokes, there's a clean version for the kids on Wednesday, January 23, because although the message is for everyone, it's the kids who need to know that fairytale romance is not always between a man and a woman.
