Benjamin Disraeli. Those who paid attention in history class were taught that he was a romantic, a wit and a dandy...not to mention the first Jewish Prime Minister of Great Britain! Disraeli, better known as Dizzy, sets out to make sure that his name is remembered for all time, spinning his way from middle class to the most exclusive drawing rooms of Victorian London, always outrageous, flamboyantly dressed and sexually ambivalent. But does this version of history jive with the truth?
Starring Juan Torres Falcon as "Dizzy" with Thomas Gibbons, Hadley Cronk, Elyssa Mactas, Chris Chianesi, Andrew Farmer, Alanna Pithis, Jordan Person, Nati Hardin, Libby Conkle, Andrew Neisler, Mathieu Whitman
