A fortress is built and actors are hired to carry out his fantasy. But is he mad or are we?

Notes: | Oscar Wilde. Lord Alfred Douglas | |||||
| Constance Wilde is allowed, for once, to steal the spotlight from Oscar's decline and fall, in a play that translates her own tragedy into a stylised emotional investigation. A silent faceless chorus in pin stripes poses for every episode of her disillusionment forming part of a striking visual language which aims to bring alive the overpowering emotions that allowed her both to condemn and to forgive her husband. | |||||
