| Synopsis: |
"The Trials Of Oscar Wilde" - On 18th February 1895, the Marquess od Queensberry left a visiting card at the Albemarle Club on which he had written: 'the Oscar Wilde posing as a sodomite'. The accusation led to a series of three trials and the imprisonment of Wilde. This compelling dramatic recreation has been carefully compiled from the original trial transcripts. "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is Wilde's only novel combining sparkling wit, social satire and luxurious description. Full of many of his most famous witticisms, it shocked a generation and played an important part in Wilde's trials. Whilst touching on the theme of homosexuality, it is essentially a novel about lust for eternal youth against the inevitable reality of the ageing process. |
