Henthorne Performing Arts Center Presents 'Gross Indecency' in 2011
Henthorne Performing Arts Center will present 'Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde.'
Moises Kaufman brings to life poet and author Oscar Wilde and the public trials that ruined him. Wilde, on trial for "gross indecency," was at the height of his fame as the author of The Importance of Being Earnest and "The Picture of Dorian Gray." He first treated the trials as if they were theatre, but later found himself fighting for his freedom and his life. Using real quotes and transcripts from the courtroom, Gross Indecency shows a man having to defend himself -- and his art -- against a society's intolerance.
Performances are May 13-14, 17, 20-21 at 7:30pm and Sunday, May 22 at 2pm. Ticket prices are $10 adults and $7 seniors and students.
For reservations and more information call 746-5065.
Henthorne Performing Arts Center is part of the Park and Recreation Department of the City of Tulsa. Home to Heller and Clark Theatres, the Henthorne PAC is located at 4825 S Quaker just east of 48th and Peoria.
