Francesca Moody Productions & Bristol Old Vic
Henry Cyril Paget was once one of the world’s wealthiest men, until he lost it all by being too damn fabulous. This fierce and tragi-gorgeous comedy musical tells the true story of a forgotten queer icon, exploring expectations, masculinity, privilege, and failure on an epic scale. At its heart, it’s about what it means to feel desperately weird and alone, and the unbearable cost of trying to fit in.
presented by Bristol Old Vic and the Olivier Award–winning producers of Fleabag, Baby Reindeer and Kathy & Stella Solve a Murder!
Hailed as “genius” by The Telegraph, this is theatre at its most flamboyant, heartfelt, and unapologetically fabulous.
