A solar eclipse in 1898 brings demigods Amaris and Aelius to a lavish Welsh estate, where newlyweds Henry and Lilian break the boundaries of gender identity, kindle the spark of desire, and discover what it means to love.
A story of queer identity and queer erasure, inspired by the extravagant and indulgent life of Henry Cyril Paget, the 5th Marquess of Anglesey.
This project was previously developed as part of Antipodes Theatre Company's 2023 Winter Lab
