Little Lord Fondleroy: Amo, Amas, Amat & All That!

Little Lord Fondleroy is a saccharine nightmare in velvet and lace, whose cherubic curls and perfect manners provide a perfect cover for his constant yearnings- primarily for poetry, pleasure, head boys and total theatrical chaos.

In this riotous hour, whirl through a formative annus eroticus at Flippitts Darstardly Boarding School for Badly Behaved Boys, where forbidden desires flourish amidst a sadistic culture of cruelty cultivated by prefects and masters alike. Here, Fondleroy discovers that masculinity and Empire are stitched together by caning, cunning and carefully repressed desire.

Can he retain his innocent charm and boyish over-generosity while the forces around him attempt to stamp all that soppy, frilly, froppy feeling out of him?

Enter a world of boarding-school heartbreak, homoerotic hijinks, and imperial intrigue. Fusing drag, theatre, poetry and music, this hilariously subversive show rips open hidden histories to reveal the queer desires that have always been lurking beneath.

An hour of frilly filth, classical camp, and dangerously well-educated debauchery, Little Lord Fondleroy investigates queer and imperial history like never before.
