Photo Flash: Andrew Morton Attends Opening Night Of THE DIANA TAPES

"The Diana Tapes" produced by What Will the Neighbors Say? and Stockwell Playhouse opened to a full house on June 26th in London, following an Off-Broadway run at HERE Arts Center last month. Andrew Morton, the main character of the play, was in attendance along with News Night anchor Kirsty Wark and West End actor Charlotte Randle among others.

The Diana Tapes, by James Clements directed by Wednesday Sue Derrico, is the true story of one of the greatest media scandals in British history - the publication of Andrew Morton's book about Princess Diana, "Diana Her True Story in Her Own Words", which ended her marriage and shook the monarchy to its core.

Based on the real transcripts from the Princess's tapes, the show moves between Morton's office, the sitting room where the Princess recorded her darkest secrets onto audio cassettes, and the dingy West London cafe where one of her best friends surreptitiously handed them over. The subterfuge and deception are brought to a scorching climax that changed celebrity, privacy, and the Windsor family forever. The question remains: who was the victim, and who the victor? The production gives voice to a woman so often defined by images and archetypes, and instead presents her complex and multifaceted reality. It tells her story in her own words.
