Gross indecency!
Nov. 21st, 2008 01:01 pmGross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde
by Moisés Kaufman
Produced by Patrick Crowe
Directed by Dominic DiGiovanni
Description:
Oscar Wilde, the famous author and playwright, takes legal action against
the Marquis of Queensbury for calling him a "posing sodomite". The trial
is an excuse for Wilde to talk about his beliefs on art, and the nature of
life. Instead, Oscar himself ends up on trial for gross indecency, setting
in motion the events that would ruin him as a public figure and an artist,
and eventually lead to his death. The play, whose dialogue is taken from
first sources, explores themes of historical and modern homosexuality,
censorship, and the role of the artist in society.
Dates: November 20, 21, 22
Time: House opens at 7:30pm, Show at 8:00pm
Where: The Little Theatre
Tickets: $5 for house seats
