Hell-raiser. Fashionista. Sexual predator. Poet. Punk.
The scandalous life and fast times of Lord Byron.
“Mad, Bad and Dangerous To Know” was how Lady Caroline Lamb described Lord Byron, the man who subsequently became her lover after their initial meeting. Proteus invites audiences to join the most notorious figure from literary history for a drink. He’ll tell you his wild tales of debauchery and romance, entertain you with his wit and wisdom and charm you with his sheer charismatic force.
Meet the man who invented celebrity culture in this unique and intimate one-man performance and enjoy some of his poetry along the way; get up close and personal with the man famously described as ‘Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know’.
