Wilde Without the Boy

A dramatisation of De Profundis, Oscar Wilde's letter from his Reading Gaol cell to his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. Two years previously, Wilde had been imprisoned for acts of gross indecency with other males. Loving yet accusatory, soaringly intellectual yet passionate, Wilde Without the Boy is a glimpse into the titanic, bruised soul of one of literature's greatest geniuses. Performed by Olivier Award nominee Gerard Logan. Directed and dramatised by Gareth Armstrong. 'Logan's performance oozes wit, intelligence and pain. Delivered with the exact tone and mannerism one could expect of Wilde himself' (Buxton Festival Fringe).
