Henry Cyril Paget, 5th Marquis of Anglesey (1875 – 1905) was born to inherit the Empire. Instead, he burned brightly, briefly and transvestitely through his family’s vast wealth; putting on fabulous plays starring himself, charging round Europe dressed as Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine or sometimes a butterfly, in a car with rose-scented exhaust fumes. When he died, his vengeful heirs burned every trace of his existence they could find, and carried on as though he’d never been. Ouch.
But it’s cool; Henry’s going to explain everything. And don’t worry, this will not be in any way an arty or difficult show. In fact, it’s going to be totally, utterly mainstream.
Seiriol Davies’s first musical How to Win Against History is a glittering, rollicking tale about being too weird for the world, but desperately not wanting it to forget you.
This Annotated Script Edition contains a wealth of exclusive materials, by which I mean extended notes where the author goes off on one to tell you more about the stories like he would after a second Strongbow.
