From Apr. 11 to Apr. 14, 2024, this show will take place in the OCU Bass School of Music’s Black Box Theatre.
This moving performance will force you to think about living in an era where it was considered illegal to be different.
In the late 1800s, Oscar Wilde was an Irish poet and playwright, but he had a serious issue. He was charged by the government for being homosexual, which was considered wrong and illegal back then.
Despite Wilde’s successful plays in London, the court put him on trial, declaring his art to be poor.
Gross Indecency shows Wilde standing up for what he believes. In court, Wilde defended himself with wise words and deep thoughts.
This comes to life by showing the play’s intense conflict of Wilde’s trials, where he defended his art as well as himself.
Through this powerful show, viewers will learn about Wilde’s hardships, his passion for art, and his struggle against society.
