Princess - The Good Girls Gone Bad

Revolutionary and criticallyacclaimed writer/director Stuart Saint brings a ground-breakinginterdisciplinary piece of theatre to LOST Theatre inspired by a twisted relationship with the princess – shattering the illusion ofhappily-ever-afters, banishing the storybook fairytale and finding the feminismin Disney.

Becausethe once pristine and weak-willed princess can now be a kick-ass Ghostbuster ora magical Snow Queen – our world is moving away from the helpless damsel indistress expected to suffer and serve and await to be rescued, and yet it’s atthe heart of many a sexual moré. In Princess, Saint creates a lavishspectacle of movement and expression, gig theatre that blends music, dance andvideo into a new story of good girls gone bad.

Stuart Saint is a director, composer, choreographer and writer best known for hisinnovate and radical adult pantos at the Leicester Square Theatre. He alsodirected Oscar Wilde story De Profundis and was a director on theaward-winning comedy show Newsrevue.

Withan uplifting, celebratory electro-pop soundtrack inspired by Soft Cell andDepeche Mode, Saint’s compositions are strongly defined by his pop music career– as is his choreography, with elements of Madonna and The Who alongside suchclassic influences as Matthew Bourne and Bob Fosse.

Allof these elements combine in Saint’s work to create, in Princess, aunique brand of gig theatre, bringing adult themes, dancers and performers thatbreak the traditional mould of today’s global monoculture, to entertain throughenergetically crafted dance, original song and resurrected video.
