SUMMARY:Runaway Princess: A Hopeful Tale of Heroin\, Hooking\, and Happiness
DESCRIPTION:In Runaway Princess: A Hopeful Tale of Heroin\, Hooking and Happiness\, former New York City call girl Mary Goggin shares the award-winning story of her traumatic Bronx Irish Catholic upbringing\, alcoholism\, drug addiction and prostitution. The multitude of characters that she encountered on her journey from utter darkness to absolute joy\, spring to life in this one-woman tour de force\, all told with dark humor\, unflinching honesty and unsentimental pathos. \n“As we peel away the last layer of a broken woman who never felt she fit in\, we find the princess\, reunited at last with her most precious treasures. A tale of hope that deserved to be shared.” -Edinburgh Festival\, 2022. \n>>> $25 – Purchase Tickets Here\nPraise for Runaway Princess\n“Blew me away…rowdy\, irreverent\, salacious\, gracious\, insightful\, riveting. ”\n~Malachy McCourt\, WBAI Radio \n“I am in tears all over again writing this review\, but I can tell you this: Goggin delivers and I left the playing space with happiness in my heart.”\n~League of Cincinnati Theatres \n“A tale of hope that deserved to be shared.”\n~Edinburgh Festival 2022 (Everything Theatre UK) \n“Always riveting\, often funny\, and ultimately deeply moving.”\n~ Galway Advertiser \n“A wild ride.” \n~Rick Pender’s Theatre \n“Gripping… a show that can empower and heal.”\n~ Kirk Sheppard\, Theatre Critic\, Cincinnati \n“There is a moment most years during the Fringe\, when you realize you are listening to a story which is (a) true\, (b) told by the person to whom these events happened and (c) completely extraordinary. This year\, for me\, it’s Mary Goggin\, with her all-American tale of drinking\, drugs and prostitution and how (incredibly) she overcame it all.”\n~The Scotsman \n“The story is often brutal yet somehow spellbinding\, she engages the audience in a manner that keeps them from politely turning away.”\n~Island Current \n“Runaway Princess will rock your socks off. Mary Pat Goggin will scare and comfort you. A suffering human being who finds reason for hope and action.”\n~ Rev. James F. Joyce\, SJ
