CGiii Comment

Fry was born to play this part.

Yes...we all know the story...some would say that it has been done to death. And some would be right.

Gilbert makes it lavish and Fry luxuriates in the role.

It could have been a little more daring...but, Gilbert obviously wanted the conservative audience - he keeps control...but, lets it slip now and then.

Good...but, too familiar to be riveting.

The(ir) Blurb...

The story of Oscar Wilde, genius, poet, playwright and the First Modern Man. The self-realization of his homosexuality caused Wilde enormous torment as he juggled marriage, fatherhood and responsibility with his obsessive love for Lord Alfred Douglas, nicknamed Bosie. After legal action instigated by Bosie's father, the enraged Marquise of Queensberry, Wilde refused to flee the country and was sentenced to two years at hard labor by the courts of an intolerant Victorian society.
