The Prince
Methuen Drama (Verlag)
978-1-350-35237-7 (ISBN)
Have you ever been trapped in a bad relationship, playing a role that doesn’t suit you? Jen and Sam are also trapped … in a multiverse of Shakepeare’s complete works.
On their quest to discover the doorway back to reality they notice something unusual about Henry ‘Hotspur’ Percy. Now Jen and Sam must decide; do they risk losing their way home to help someone who might be like them – someone who does not yet know who she truly is?
The Prince is a sharp new play that weaves through Henry IV Part One and other of the Bard’s works, providing fun for the audience whether they be Shakespeare scholars or verse virgins. With sword fighting, lesbianism, and disappointed parents, this thrilling new work was written by Abigail Thorn, celebrated creator of Philosophy Tube.
This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London’s Southwark Playhouse, in September 2022.
Abigail Thorn is a British YouTuber and actress best known for producing the YouTube channel Philosophy Tube. Philosophy Tube began in 2013, when Thorn sought to provide free lessons in philosophy in the wake of the 2012 increase in British tuition fees. In 2018, her videos became more theatrical, beginning to incorporate dramatic studio sets, lighting, costuming and makeup. The channel has been positively received by critics, and has over one million subscribers. In 2019, Thorn hosted a livestream on Twitch in which she read plays from the Complete Works of Shakespeare for the mental health charity Samaritans. The stream lasted five days, featured a number of guests, and raised over £100,000 for Samaritans. Thorn publicly came out as a transgender woman in January 2021, with the video Coming Out As Trans – A Little Public Statement and the more theatrical Identity: A Trans Coming Out Story.
