The Trials of Oscar Wilde at the Theatre Royal Winchester, April 25-27

Following a sell-out West End run, European Arts Company presents this dramatisation of the libel and criminal trials of Oscar Wilde – written by his grandson Merlin Holland.

February 14, 1895, was the triumphant opening night of The Importance of Being Earnest and the poignant beginning of Wilde’s career as a notable playwright.

Less than 100 days later, he found himself a common prisoner sentenced to two years hard labour. So what happened during the trials? Was he persecuted or the author of his own downfall?

Using the actual words spoken in court, feel what it was like to be in the company of a flawed genius…
