Description
Actor, historian and author Ian Kelly, who has recently published critically acclaimed biographies of Giacomo Casanova and Beau Brummell, will bring a full and sexually frank account of the underside of theatrical and demimonde life in 18th-century Europe.
Based on unprecendeted access to the medical records of Beau Brummell and the files of the Venetian Inquisition, the stories of these two notorious dandy-libertines provide a unique insight into the risks and rewards for the sexually adventurous of another age, whether ‘In armour complete’- or not!
