Fresh from her world tour, the People's Princess is back at the Fringe! Do you know the story of Diana? Probably. But do you know our story of Diana? We very much doubt it. Join Diana in heaven as she shares the untold and untrue tale of her extraordinary life. Combining drag, multimedia, audience interaction, puppetry and a lot of queer joy, this unique celebration of the People's Princess is as hilarious as it is tasteless. 'Outrageous triumph' (Edgar Wright). 'Repellent trash' (Daily Mail).
