Description:
In the dishonorable tradition of the eccentric dandyism of lord Byron, Oscar Wilde and Quentin crisp comes Sebastian Horsley; Britain's most controversial icon of this decade.
After writing his critically acclaimed autobiography Dandy In The Underworld, Sebastian Horsley tried to promote his book in the US. He was refused entry on the grounds of 'Moral Turpitude' - the last icon to be turned away in this manner was John Lennon.
Upon returning to the UK, Sebastian decided to take the success of his book (by now a New York Times Best Seller) to the stage with a series of one-off live shows. Playground were asked to produce print to promote these performances.
Horsley is a peacock without a cause, a piece of transcendent trash - a futile blast of colour in a futile colourless world.
