    Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde by Moisés Kaufman

    Directed by Mark Harry Creter

    November 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 20, 21, 2020 at 8:00 p.m.

    November 19, 2020 at 10:00 p.m.

    November 21, 2020 at 2:00 p.m.

    In order to safely distance the audience from one another we will only be accommodating 32 people in the auditorium per performance. Audiences will be accommodated on a first-come-first-served basis.

    THE STORY: 

    GROSS INDECENCY uses trial transcripts, personal correspondence, interviews and other source materials to tell the story of the downfall of the great man of letters whose artistic genius has long been overshadowed by the scandal surrounding his imprisonment. “His style was his umbrella, his armor, his all-purpose defense system, and for many years it seemed to shelter Oscar Wilde most effectively. There came a moment, however, in 1895 when the playwright was betrayed by his own wit, after which he would never again be able to gain control of his life.
