The Bent, in association with The Palm Springs Cultural Center, presents Moises Kaufman's GROSS INDECENCY: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde

Camelot Theatres

<h2>GROSS INDECENCY: THE THREE TRIALS OF OSCAR WILDE by Moises Kaufman </h2><h2>October 13 - 29, 2023 </h2>GROSS INDECENCY, based entirely on facts, is a blueprint for the price Oscar Wilde paid for his status as a gay icon. In 1895 the Marquess of Queensberry, the father of Oscar Wilde’s young lover, left a card at Wilde’s club referring to Wilde as a “Posing Sodomite.” Wilde sued for criminal libel which set off an avalanche of ruin for Wilde in all aspects of his life. Queensbury was acquitted and Wilde was put on trial for “gross indecency with male persons.” With characters that range from Wilde, his lover Lord Douglas, Queensbury, Queen Victoria and London rent boys, Wilde’s story is told through courts transcripts, newspapers and other first person accounts. Playwright Moises Kaufman is also the writer of THE LARAMIE PROJECT, a beautiful play about the reaction to the murder of Matthew Shepard. The Washington Post calls GROSS INDECENCY… “A triumph…truth, purity, and simplicity suffuse this thoroughly engrossing new play…sweeps away cobwebs and distortions, allowing complex, credible human beings to emerge from history.” For more information: <a href="https://www.thebent.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.TheBent.org </a>CAST (in alphabetical order):Brent Anderson, Melanie Blue, Tony Bradford, Kai Brothers, Stan Jenson, Barbara Kerr, Jason Mannino, Willie Mullins, Alex Price and Koby Queenen
