The Tragedy of Dandelion

Ego Actus presents an Equity Showcase Code production of The Tragedy of Dandelion by Duncan Pflaster, directed by Joan Kane1 at Urban Stages, 259 West 30th St. in New York City.
The Princess Dandelion dresses as a boy in order to escape her rapist and would-be husband, along the way falling in love with another princess, and traveling through her society, meeting nuns, soldiers, and clowns, and all the time her pregnancy continues, the impending birth complicating everything. Written entirely in iambic pentameter and full of Shakespearean tropes and double entendres. All 29 parts of men and women will be played by ten women.
