Moises Kaufman's play follows the three short months in which Oscar Wilde, the most celebrated playwright and wit of Victorian England, was toppled from his seat at the apex of British society to humiliation and ruin. The ever-burning issues of sexuality, censorship, and the role of the artist are exposed amid a cast of characters ranging from Queen Victoria to George Bernard Shaw.

"I like to say that Oscar Wilde was the first performance artist. He was a man who chose to live his life with passion. And in trying to define his own world in his own terms, he came up against a society that found him truly subversive." --Moises Kaufman
