Pink Palace presents by popular request a screening of the delightfully surreal queer-coded King Baby.

A modern fairytale plays out in a crumbling kingdom populated only by a King and a Servant. The arrival of a mannequin Queen throws their carefully constructed world into a whirlwind of isolation, madness, and murderous megalomania. 

A ‘King’ and a ‘Servant’ live, completely isolated, in the crumbling ruins of a castle surrounded by dense forest. - two men who have rejected the modern world in favour of a life where they can say and do whatever they want. So they play out a ludicrous daily cycle of pomp and ceremony with a punishingly unequal power dynamic. But when the King orders the Servant to create a wooden mannequin Queen...

An absurdist journey through a dark fairy tale from transgender and cis-gender writing-directing duo Kit & Arran who inventively, insightfully and hilariously explore themes of class, hierarchy, gender and power.

With a live in-person intro and post screening Q&A with co-writer/director Arran Shearing.
