Peter Smith invites you to spend a sly, sensational hour with the Princess of Wales in this docu-spectacle. DIANA combines long-form lip-sync and original music to create an ode to the titular royal’s moment of ascension: the 1995 tell-all BBC interview in which she truly became “the princess of people’s hearts.”

PETER SMITH (Creator, Performer, Original Music) is a comedian and singer based in New York City. TV credits include SHRILL (Hulu), ALTERNATINO (Comedy Central) and THREE BUSY DEBRAS (Adult Swim). Comedy Central chose them as one of their 2018 UP NEXT Variety Performers. TIME OUT New York named Peter a 2018 Comic to Watch. Peter starred as the titular character in Leonard Bernstein’s PETER PAN at Bard SummerScape 2018 and as “Caitlyn Jenner” in KATDASHIANS! BREAK THE MUSICAL!, a Kardashians/Cats parody about which the New York Times said Peter “ultimately steals the show”. Peter is the first trans person to ever professionally perform all 35 characters in Doug Wright's Pulitzer/Tony Award winning solo play I AM MY OWN WIFE. They've had monthly show at Caroline's On Broadway, The Duplex and The Slipper Room. Most frequently, they host a weekly standup show "Pig" downtown at the Slipper Room but can be seen in clubs across the U.S. The New Yorker said Peter is "wickedly playful".
