Show and ticket information for The Mad Gay King play at The King's Head Theatre, Inner London.

When Richard Hornig, a stable master with a secret, arrives at the court of King Ludwig II, the young monarch's most decadent obsessions are ignited - placing the future of his kingdom, his legacy, and even his sanity at the edge of a dangerous precipice. Based on true events, The Mad Gay King is a queer retelling of the life and love of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, an infamous 19th century monarch who funded the operas of Richard Wagner, built a flight of fairy tale castles, and was ultimately deposed by his conservative government on the grounds of homosexual insanity.
