Work is the Curse of the Drinking Classes
An afternoon with Oscar
Join us for an afternoon of Oscar Wilde with Neil Titley's Work is the Curse of the Drinking Classes. Presented in a special, limited run and performed by actor Will Govan, this wonderfully witty and sincere show will teleport audience goers to 1898 Paris, one year after Wilde’s release from prison.
The play draws on Wilde’s letters, essays and anecdotes to bring his spirit to life in a 60-minute performance which will appeal as much to those who know little about the writer as it will to those who admire his work. Titley balances Wilde’s almost dutiful humour with an unsentimental portrayal of his suffering in Reading Gaol, and his bitter perception of man’s inhumanity to man.
