Inspired by the true story of the unlikely British aristocrat who smashed society’s notions of class, gender and decorum, squandering a multimillion fortune before his heartbreaking untimely death.
Meet Henry Paget (Callum Scott Howells), the 5th Marquess of Anglesey and a fabulously flamboyant aristocrat. Born in 1875, he inherited a fortune and promptly set about spending every last penny of it on jewels, theatre productions and scandalously lavish parties. While polite society clutched its pearls, Henry became a beloved figure to the people of Bangor. Outwardly, that is how people will remember him, but understanding the young man grieving his mother and desperately seeking the approval of the father he never met brings an extra dimension to this extraordinary life. A riotous, uncompromising celebration of otherness. Cast also includes Rupert Everett and Siobhán McSweeney.
