Photo Flash: First Look at THE DIANA TAPES at HERE Arts Center

What Will the Neighbors Say? (www.wwtns.org) opened their latest show, "The Diana Tapes," on Sunday May 27th at HERE Arts Center. The production runs through June 10th before a transfer to London's Stockwell Playhouse.

This show presents the true story of one of the greatest media scandals in British history - the publication of Andrew Morton's book about Princess Diana, which ended her marriage and shook the monarchy to its core. The show moves between Morton's office, the sitting room where the Princess recorded her darkest secrets onto 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 Diana Tapes?" was workshopped at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it was featured in the Daily Mail, The Evening Times and the Scotsman, in addition to STV and BBC Radio, and was shortlisted for the Holden Street Theatre Award. Subsequent workshop runs in Providence, New York and Toronto were met with acclaim, with critics calling the production "intricate and compelling," (BroadwayWorld) "entrancing," (Motif) "tense and provocative," (The Providence Journal) and "timely and relevant" (Mooney on Theatre).

The play, written by James Clemens are directed by Wednesday Sue Derrico, features Ana Cristina Schuler as Diana, Princess of Wales, James Clements as Andrew Morton, Jorge Morales Picó as James Colthurst and Sam Hood Adrain as Michael O'Mara. The creative team includes Props, Set & Costume Design by Madeline Wall, Sound Design by Jorge Morales Picó, and Lighting Design by Elizabeth M. Stewart with Dialect Coach Jordan Yanco and Stage Manager Becky Abramowitz.
