Runaway Princess, a hopeful tale of heroin, hooking and happiness

Join us for Runaway Princess, a ground breaking play from Mary Goggin

Runaway Princess

Join us for an unforgettable in-person event!

Runaway Princess’s mission is to shock people into humanity. Sharing my secrets gives others permission to share theirs, resulting in a true connection to humanity. It is a mission to promote healing from the stigma of addiction, from violence against women. The play addresses bullying, overeating, generational differences, prostitution, the shame of being an alcoholic mother.

Runaway Princess play addresses all this ~ head on.

Our emotional state is just as important as our physical health and if we want to prevent this from happening there needs to be a shift towards the normalization that we have emotions for a reason: They are our roadmap to life and suppressing them can lead to some ugly places.

-Mary Goggin

“Blew me away… rowdy, irreverent, salacious, gracious insightful, riveting.”

Malachy McCourt

“The story is often brutal yet somehow spellbinding, she engages the audience in a manner that keeps them from politely turning away.”

Island Current

“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.”

League of Cincinnati Theatres

“A tale of hope that deserved to be shared.”

Edinburgh Festival 2022

“Runaway Princess is a beautiful, vulnerable, and powerful piece…. Mary’s performance is raw, grounded, vulnerable, and commanding ~ a deeply human presence on stage. It’s definitely a journey worth taking.”

Caitlin Hart
BorderLight Festival

“Fortunately, like all fables, there is a happy ending. As we peel away the last layer of a broken woman, one who trod on the edge of society because she never felt she fit in, we finally find the princess, reunited at last with her most precious treasures. This is indeed a tale of hope that deserved to be shared.”
