How to Win Against History

Born in 1875, he was poised to inherit the Empire

Instead he burned brightly

And briefly

And transvestitely

He blew his family's vast wealth putting on sparkling, diamond-studded plays

Starring himself

To which nobody came

When he died, his family burnt every record of his life they could find

And carried on as though he'd never existed

This is an hilarious, riches-to-rags musical extravaganza about being too weird for the world

And desperately not wanting it to forget you

The critics adored it ...
