The actor playing it had the audience in his hand. I couldn't believe he learned and was able to recite so many lines.
Oscar Wilde’s life, its spectacle, brilliance and wit and the sadness of his downfall brought about by his unwise relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas. All told using Wilde’s great language and beautifully drawn using Michael Mac Liammoir original idea and compassionately brought up to date by a wonderful Alastair Wheatley.
A one-person play exploring the life and work of Oscar Wilde. Wilde seems to come alive before us.
