“Step into Ramrod – a fantasy world and empire in decline; where fables and myths become a manifesto for survival. The piece reimagines the history of the world in an explosive baroque fantasia – a celebration of sex, pleasure and queer communities.

“The cult book The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions (1977) by US-born author Larry Mitchell is considered an origin myth of the queer community that addresses and celebrates diversity and sexuality. In their new opera, composer Philip Venables and the author and director Ted Huffman look at the history of music from a different perspective, just like the novel it is based on offers an alternative narration of the history of mankind and opens our eyes to another view of the world.”\
