IN THE FALL OF 2025, the New York stage offered three separate productions featuring the word “faggot” in their title. Most prominent was Jordan Tannahill’s play Prince Faggot, directed by Shayok Misha Chowdhury, which premiered at Playwrights Horizons in the summer and returned for a limited off-Broadway engagement later in the year. The central narrative constructs a fantasy future in which college-age Prince George of Wales brings his boyfriend Dev to meet the royal family.
