In 1895, playwright and poet Oscar Wilde sued the Marquess of Queensberry for criminal libel after the Marquess called him a “posing sodomite.” This lawsuit backfired on Wilde, resulting in two additional trials to determine whether Wilde was guilty of “gross indecency with male persons.” Playwright Moisés Kaufman, the Tony- and Emmy-nominated playwright behind *The Laramie Project*, uses trial transcripts, personal correspondence, interviews, and other source materials to tell the story of the downfall of the great man of letters whose artistic genius has long been overshadowed by the scandal surrounding his imprisonment. Written by Moisés Kaufman Directed by Halena Kays
