“This is a good play that tells the story of the three trials of Oscar Wilde that occurred in the mid-1890s. A series of down-on-their luck young men testified against Wilde that he had corrupted them. The authorities gave Wilde a few separate attempt...”
ts that would culminate in his ruin and imprisonment. For within a year the bewildered Wilde himself was on trial for acts of "gross indecency" and, implicitly—for a vision of art that outraged Victorian propriety. Expertly interweaving courtroom testimony with excerpts from Wilde's writings and the words of his contemporaries, Gross Indecency unveils its subject in all his genius and human frailty, his age in all its complacency and repression. The result is a play that will be read and studied for decades to come.
