DEATH TO A BUTTERFLY (2023)

A story of queer identity and queer erasure, inspired by the extravagant and indulgent life of Henry Cyril Paget, the 5th Marquess of Anglesey. In an estate in 1890’s Wales, Henry, Lilian and Fleur break the boundaries of gender identity, what it means to be passionate, and what it means to love.
