Oscar Wilde, renowned for his vibrant personality, quick wit, and astute epigrams, stands as a comedic genius and a literary icon. This collection showcases the diverse range of his remarkable talent. Here, you will find dramatizations of his sole novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, a gothic tale of a gilded aristocrat who enters into a perilous pact. Additionally, this collection includes four sparkling social comedies: Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, The Importance of Being Earnest, and An Ideal Husband. Among the distinguished casts are Ian MacDiarmid, Joely Richardson, Edward Fox, Diana Rigg, Martin Clunes, Michael Hordern, and Judi Dench. Furthermore, you will discover moving examples of his correspondence in The Letters of Oscar Wilde and De Profundis, read by Simon Callow and Simon Russell Beale, respectively. Moreover, his most famous poem, The Ballad of Reading Gaol, is performed live by renowned stars such as Ian McKellen, Neil Tennant, and Stephen Fry. In addition, a bonus drama, In Extremis, by Neil Bartlett, stars Corin Redgrave and Sheila Hancock, reimagining Oscar Wilde's hurried encounter with a society palm reader, just a week before the trial that would ultimately lead to his downfall.
