The Fairy Visions of Richard Dadd

The great Victorian fairy painter takes centre stage in – and out of – Bedlam, beset by the larger-than-life characters of phantasmagorical Victorian London while he tries to commune with the fairies he creates on canvas. Rival painters – eerie foreshadows of modern Young Britsh Artists – plague him while a kindly doctor tries to help him return to sanity; Nina pays him a visit from her 21st century Utopia and Dadd puts in a spot of time-travel himself. . .
