The play revisits the life of Oscar Wilde, charting his ascent as a celebrated writer and public figure before the trials and imprisonment that reshaped his legacy. Drawing on Wilde’s own words alongside those of Irish writer Micheál Mac Liammóir, the production explores the contrast between Wilde’s wit, public persona, and private devastation.

The work features a solo performance by Alastair Whatley, portraying Oscar Wilde through a blend of biography and theatrical interpretation. Structured around Wilde’s life and writings, the play examines how his identity, relationships, and downfall became inseparable from his artistic legacy, and returns for a UK tour ahead of a London engagement.
