Anyone not already familiar with Sebastian Horsley, look away now. Soho dandy, below-average artist, sex columnist, and Comme des Garçons model. He's swum with sharks, slept with a thousand prostitutes, been addicted to crack, been addicted to smack, invented a shirt at Turnbull & Asser, won a million and lost a million, and, most famously, crucified himself in the Philippines while Sarah Lucas filmed it.
His autobiography Dandy in the Underworld was a triumph, with the shallow brilliance of Bolan, Bowie, Wilde, and Crisp all polished into one. And now it's available in theatre-form. Written by Tim Fountain (who's previously written studies of Quentin Crisp and Julie Birchill) and starring Milo Twomey, this is the highlight of the theatre season. Probably.
The man himself said, "I have been trying for sometime to develop a lifestyle that doesn't require my presence. It seems I have finally been successful."
