About

Wilde Without the Boy is Gareth Armstrong's brilliant staging of De Profundis, Oscar Wilde's searing letter to his lover, written from his prison cell. The piece is a window into the bruised soul of a literary genius.

Wilde's poem The Ballad of Reading Gaol narrates the execution of Charles Thomas Wooldridge, convicted of murdering his wife. It is underscored by a specially-commissioned score by Simon Slater.

Performer: Gerard Logan (Olivier Nominee, The Stage's "Best Solo Performer of the 2011 Edinburgh Festival").
Director: Gareth Armstrong
Music by Simon Slater

"...The most moving play about Oscar Wilde I've ever seen." Gyles Brandreth
