Gross Indecency

A riveting new play -- a critically acclaimed Off Broadway hit -- that enacts Oscar Wide's tragic downfall with tremendous feeling and startling theatricality, A Vintage Original. Like Mamet's Oleanna, the play everyone was talking about a few years ago, Gross Indecency has sparked widespread discussion. It has tapped into reawakened interest in Wilde, who is also the subject of two forthcoming movies. This multi-layered, complex work takes us beyond what we thought we knew about Wilde; it will be taught and will backlist forever. "A dazzling coup de theatre, at once compelling history and chilling human drama". -- Time "Thrilling ... unforgettable, maybe even life-changing ... deftly tells the story of the downfall of a great artist with the inevitability and much of the monumentality of a Greek tragedy". -- USA Today
