| Description |
On a lavish Welsh estate, a church reborn into a theatre becomes a haven of queer creativity, and the setting for breaking the boundaries of gender identity, kindling the spark of desire, and discovering what it means to love. Henry and Lilian, bound together through marriage, learn to see each other for who they are as they face the pressures of family duty and societal expectations. Death To A Butterfly is a story of queer identity and queer erasure, inspired by the extravagant and indulgent life of Henry Cyril Paget, the 5th Marquess of Anglesey. |
