For over ten years Composer David Smart and Lyricist Brian Watson have written and rewritten this show, such was their concern that a true tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales had to be created. David and Brian didn’t want to just entertain the audience, they want to make their audience feel comfortable with the accuracy of the story of Diana as it unfolds before them.

The result was that the pair engaged Richard Kay as the show’s Story Editor. Richard Kay was London’s top Royal correspondent for most of Princess Diana’s Royal lifetime. Indeed, he became one of the Princess’ closest friends, and her personal confidant. It was Richard who received the last phone call from Diana on the day that she died. Who better to make sure that “Call Me Diana” is presented as the perfect tribute to the remarkable Diana, Princess of Wales.
