Reviews & Fringe Feed Reacts
Absurd, camp, chaotic, and hilarious. This is one show well worth watching! - Alistair James, Attitude
Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story is an unmissable, unhinged, one-of-kind piece of theatre that I couldn’t love more - Olivia Cox, Operation Live Theatre
It's absolutely everything you want from a fictional comedy about Diana. Unexpected, uninhibited and unhinged - Bronwen Winter Phoenix, Edinburgh Review
Gloriously irreverent, an energetic and upbeat show that is as poised and polished as it is anarchic and outrageous. - Chris Omaweng, London Theatre1
