Love Upon the Throne by Patrick Barlow
A gleefully comic retelling of the Charles and Diana story, designed to be performed by two (male) actors.'The extraordinary thing about Love Upon the Throne is that it pulls off the impossible: it is extremely funny without being offensiveAnd this is because, beneath the jokes... it is a melancholy modern history play'
* Observer *'Grateful tears of laughter coursed down my cheek... Pure joy'
* Guardian *'The show achieves real brilliance'
* Daily Telegraph *
