Short description

Oscar Wilde is a married playwright who has occasionally indulged his weakness for male suitors. After much toil, Wilde debuts 'The Importance of Being Earnest' in London, and a chat at the theatre with Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas leads to a full-fledged romance. However, this affair leads to a legal dispute with Lord Alfred's oppressive father, the Marquess of Queensberry, and, given the local anti-gay laws, Wilde is jailed. Wilde's vast intellect helps him survive until he regains his freedom.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Producer Mark Samuelsson himself admitted that Stephen Fry would be excellent in the role of Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), but Fry wasn't considered a star, so securing funding for the project was difficult.
  • Producer Mark Samuelson admitted that while Stephen Fry was magnificent in the role of Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), Fry was not considered a star, so securing funding for the project proved to be a struggle.
