DramaHistory

A dramatic retelling of the life of Ludwig II, King of Bavaria, one of the most fascinating monarchs of modern times. From his accession to the throne at the age of 18 to his passionate support of Richard Wagner and his music. From his ingenuous political commitment to his obsessive construction of extravagant palaces and to his gradual withdrawal into a lonely dream world, an epic narrative of breathtaking grandeur.

VIBE

A lavish, melancholic descent into a king's opulent dream world. It's a tragic, slow-burn immersion into art, obsession, and the crushing weight of isolation, all rendered with breathtaking, if somber, grandeur.
