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.
"a raw play that tackles homosexual
issues head on " Brighton Argus
"an evening of gay delight"
