"Once upon a time, there was a Princess born to a King and Queen who were banished from their island, forced to flee to America in a coffin ship.” Thus begins the tale of the Runaway Princess… in which Mary Goggin shares a true story, laced with wicked humor and much pathos, of her Irish Catholic upbringing, drug addiction and prostitution, and the multitude of characters she encountered along the way to ultimately finding joy. The play swept up three awards at United Solo Festival 2018 in New York City (Best Storyteller, Solo Critics Choice, Best Seller), Goggin brings Runaway Princess, A Hopeful Tale of Heroin, Hooking and Happiness to Charm City Fringe.Yes!
“Miss Goggin injects effortless humor into a masterful story of drugs, homelessness and prostitution… from Ireland to the Bronx she vividly describes the debaucheries of the 70s…the story of someone who has come into herself.” All About Solo Critics Choice.
