PRINCE OF HEARTS
Synopsis:
In the near future Stephen, an unpopular, private Prince of Wales is having his wife chosen for him by Reality TV. We’re down to the final three.
Outside, foodbanks are at capacity and feral children roam the streets. The Palace gates are blown open to let in terrifying amounts of fresh air. Will playing the popular culture game save Stephen’s bacon? What does entitlement demand in return? What are the consequences of not taking responsibility for our actions?
