In 1895, playwright and poet Oscar Wilde sued the Marquess of Queensberry for criminal libel after the Marquess called him a “posing sodomite.” This lawsuit backfired on Wilde, resulting in two additional trials to determine whether Wilde was guilty of “gross indecency with male persons.” Moisés Kaufman, the Tony- and Emmy-nominated playwright behind The Laramie Project, uses trial transcripts, personal correspondence, interviews, and other source materials to tell the story of the downfall of Oscar Wilde, whose artistic genius was, for a time, overshadowed by the scandal surrounding his imprisonment. Written by Moisés Kaufman Directed by Halena Kays
Single tickets available beginning July 30.
