      A sensational new play about sexual underworlds in the London of Queen Victoria and today.

                            

  LORD ARTHUR'S BED  by Martin Lewton                    

  2008 - City slickers Donald and Jim are celebrating their civil partnership.  1868 - Wealthy young cross-dressers Ernest (Stella) and Fred (Fanny) are

  celebrating Stella's 'marriage' to Lord Arthur Clinton MP.  LORD ARTHUR'S BED weaves these two stories together, dramatizing the farcical trial that

  gripped the  nation 25 years before the downfall of Oscar Wilde. In Fanny and Stella's extraordinary and comical story, two modern men find a hidden

   history and some uncomfortable truths that threaten to wreck their new life together.
