Princes angered by play
Aug 31, 2006, 22:30 GMT
Britain's Princes William and Harry are reportedly distraught over a new play about the tragic death of their mother Princess Diana.
The show - created by German director Christoph Schlingensief - depicts the last hours of Diana's life before she was killed in a car crash in Paris nine years ago today (31.08.06).
The play - due to open in Berlin in two weeks time and transfer to London in October - has caused renewed anguish among the young princes, who earlier this year publicly criticised the exploitation of their mother's memory. A royal source said: 'It doesn't take a genius to work out how William and Harry feel about these things.' Several scenes in the story are also expected to upset the royals. In one particular scene an actress, dressed as Queen Elizabeth, is shown giving a Nazi salute. Schlingensief - who has previously created works about rapists and staged a show featuring real neo-Nazis - says the controversial show is part of a bigger project. He said: 'This Diana piece completes my series which started with Hitler. They are all people around whom mythologies are built up.' Schlingensief plans to bring out a film of his production early next year and wants to shoot the movie in London. However, he realises he might not receive a warm welcome in the English capital. He said: 'Diana is holy there.'Copyright 2006 BANG Media International

'Ein kritisches Resümee könnte lauten: Es geht um das Making-of der öffentlichen Aufregung, um die Reflektion der gelenkten Blicke, um das Spiel mit gesteuerten Sehnsüchten. Aber bis man zu so einem Schluss kommen kann, braucht es Abstand und Zeit. Denn als Besucher von 'Kaprow City' fühlt man sich erst einmal um alles betrogen: die Bilder, das Theater, Lady Di - wo ist das alles hin? Wie ein Zaungast, der stets an den Rand des gesellschaftlich Relevanten gedrängt wird, leidet man unter dem Gefühl, das Eigentliche zu verpassen'(Der Spiegel).
As my good old England countrymen about the journalist,Winston Churchill at the 'Morning Star'(South Africa) always wanted to have explained in a master piece
of writing and literature is the particular 'sans phrase' and the special word
which makes this historical reporting of 'The Austerlitz sun set'(Churchill) or
'Kaprow City'(Schlingensief) unique. In 'Kaprow City'(Schlingensief) it's the return of the since 1945 forbidden classical slang and 'jargon' wording:'The
Essential[Das Eigentliche]'(Stirner, Meinong et alios) used by Bettina Müller!

How this Diana kids behaved in the past wasn't always accurate with
the politeness rules of a French gentle d'Artagnan. However. Schlingensief
as a hereditary comedy director of the ex-German Democratic Republic will
tame to become the Cotta-Coburg[Windsor-yankees] a half-silk noble English
family.
