An artist, dandy and author who was perhaps best known for having under-gone a voluntary crucifixion in the Philippines before beginning a regular column in The Erotic Review, Horsleys memoirs focused on his dysfunctional family, his drug addictions, sex, and his love of prostitutes, and unsurprisingly became a cult literary sensation. Soho Theatres theatrical version, adapted from Horsleys no-holds-barred memoir (of the same name) and directed by fellow moral delinquent Tim Fountain, coincides with development of the film, which has been optioned by Stephen Frys Sprout Films.
