Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde by Moisés Kaufman
3.0
I read this play as part of research I am doing for a novel I'm writing. While obviously a dramatic (fictionalized) piece, it was quite useful in that it told me what I needed to know about the proceedings of a court, and about the late 19th century.
A simple retelling of Wilde's trials, this is a straightforward play but one that fans of Wilde will likely enjoy. It doesn't offer anything spectacular in terms of dialogue, plot or atmosphere, but it gets the job done. Accessible, I'd call it, which isn't a bad thing.
