Gross Indecency: the Three Trials of Oscar Wilde

In 1895, Oscar Wilde brought a libel suit against a man who had publicly maligned him. Within a year, Wilde found himself on trial for acts of “gross indecency” and—implicitly—for a vision of art that outraged Victorian propriety. In this stunning work of theater, Moisés Kaufman turns the three trials of Oscar Wilde into a riveting drama that weaves together courtroom transcripts, Wilde’s writings, and the words of his contemporaries. GROSS INDECENCY unveils the full range of Oscar Wilde’s genius and frailty while laying bare the hypocrisy and repression of his society.

Featuring David Allen Prescott, Charles Amaral, Traci Bartlett, Lucas Cardwell, Kevin Scott Hall, Jeremy McMahon, Matt Muller, Kathleen O’Connor, Pam Sontag, Austin Swallow, David Vaillette, and Catrina Vear.
