Dreaming up a Prince

Dreaming up a Prince is a piece of interactive theatre. It takes place in two parts. The first is a 35-minute performance where the characters grapple with the issues of relationships and sexuality. After the performance, the audience will interact directly with the characters. They could ask them questions (hot-seating) or suggest alternative choices or decisions that the characters could have made so as to avoid their present predicament. The actors then play out the suggestions on the spot. Alternatively, audience members could "replace" the actors and play out their own solutions. Together, actors and audience work towards finding ways  of helping the young teenage couple.
