Elagabalus, Emperor of Rome

Thought Caligula was crazy? Thought Nero was nuts? They pale in comparison to Elegabalus, Emperor of Rome. This (mostly) true story of the youth that became a Roman Emperor is told with a mix of Grand-Guignol horror and outrageous comedy. Audiences can expect a bloody evening of deceit, vengeance, fetishism, cross-dressing, and much more. Assassinated at the age of eighteen by his own soldiers at the request of his own family, Elagabalus (sometimes called Heliogabalus) went down in history as one of the most reviled and bizarre characters in Roman history. El Gato proudly brings his macabre story to the stage.
