By Royal Decree, the cast has been announced for A Princess Undone with Felicity Dean starring as Princess Margaret.
In Netflix’s acclaimed global hit series, The Crown, Margaret re-emerged as the most controversial and enigmatic member of the Royal Family. A Princess Undone, inspired by actual events, sheds new light on the last real princess.
Kensington Palace, 1993. She was the Diana of her day. That day has gone, but HRH The Princess Margaret has a final chance to be of service. Acquiring sensational letters from Charles and Diana, she means to burn them all. But there are other papers, relating to Margaret herself. And when an ex-gangster admirer returns from her past, the Queen’s sister has the choice to make or break her family yet again.

‘Shockingly good… Ridley’s best play… his writing is amongst the very sharpest in British theatre’ ★★★★ Time Out
Davey has seen something he can never forget. Anita has been forced to flee her home. Tonight, they meet for the first time… and their lives will change forever.
Philip Ridley’s modern classic was a huge success when it premiered at the Hampstead Theatre in 2001, and a West End smash in 2007. Thrilling, heartbreaking and darkly humorous by turns, it is now seen as one of the most powerful explorations of hate crime – and society’s need to crush ‘difference’ – ever written.
