Gross Indecency chronicles the arrest, judgment, and sentencing of Oscar Wilde, the most celebrated and notorious playwright and wit of Victorian England.  This provocative theatrical recreation of the trials that toppled Oscar Wilde from his seat at the apex of British art and society features a cast of characters ranging from Queen Victoria to George Bernard Shaw.  Modern historians and journalists travel back and forth in time to comment on Wilde and his contemporaries and raise the ever-burning issues of sexuality, censorship, and the role of the artist in society.  “A dazzling and thought-provoking piece, with a wit and ingenuity that are specifically of the theatre.” –Wall Street Journal
