Runaway Princess




Once upon a time, there was a Princess born to a King and Queen who were banished from their island, forced to flee to America in a coffin ship. Thus begins the tale of the Runaway Princess in which Mary Goggin shares her award winning, true story, laced with wicked humor and much pathos, of her Irish Catholic upbringing, drug addiction and prostitution, and the multitude of characters she encountered along the way to ultimately finding joy.
The play, which swept up three awards at United Solo Festival 2018 in New York City (Best Storyteller, Solo Critics Choice, Best Seller), Best Actor award  at the Galway Fringe, 2019 and Fringiest Award at the Baltimore Fringe, 2019

BY CHARLIE MCBRIDE  Galway Advertiser, Thu, Aug 01, 2019
Switching briefly to the Galway Fringe Festival, a show that really packed a punch was Mary Goggins Runaway Princess [pictured above] which related her life story of enduring years of drug addiction, alcoholism, and prostitution before finally beating her demons and finding joy. Goggins story was told matter of factly, neither sensational nor self-pitying, and with frequent flashes of humour.
She vividly evoked the range of characters she encountered from parents, to teachers, pushers and pimps. Her narrative voice reminded me very much of the great American writer Lucia Berlin who similarly spun the raw material of her own alcoholism and disorderly life into compelling stories. Always riveting, often funny, and ultimately deeply moving, Runaway Princess was another personal highpoint of the last fortnight.
