Audacious, sung-through-with-blood television — a gothic rock opera that hands Sam Reid the role of a lifetime and turns Anne Rice's mythology into the year's most rapturous reinvention.

## Synopsis

Freed from the confines of Louis's account, Lestat de Lioncourt seizes the microphone — literally — fronting a stadium rock tour that doubles as a confession of centuries of appetite, abandonment and grief. Sam Reid's brat prince spars with Jacob Anderson's Louis while Jennifer Ehle arrives as Gabrielle, the mother he turned and never stopped chasing. Rolin Jones reshapes Anne Rice's gothic universe into a glam-soaked reverie of original songs, old wounds and operatic excess.
