Judas Kiss – February 2006
By David Hare
Directed by James Hough Neilson
The Judas Kiss is a dramatized biography of Oscar Wilde, in which playwright David Hare presents his interpretation of what may have happened behind closed doors between Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas. The Judas Kiss revisits this tale of deception, in which a man who had everything, risked it all, and subsequently lost everything when his lover betrayed him. This Tony nominated work (1998) establishes the consequences of taking a moral stand in a world wrapped in fear and prejudice. (more…)Dinner – June 2006

The other guests include Wynne, the flaky artist who has turned up without her politician husband after a falling out, and scientist Hal with his new trophy wife, newsreader Sian.
