Description:

Oscar Wilde - writer, dramatist, leader of the British "Aesthetic Movement" and eccentric wit - took North America by storm on an infamous lecture tour in 1882. Accompanying Wilde on the tour was a Black American valet, Stephen Davenport, an ex-slave and freedom fighter, with a secret and turbulent past. Jim Bartley's lively, finely written play captures an authentic Oscar Wilde full of the fine intelligence of his early life and matches him against the quiet integrity of Stephen Davenport to explore the societal gulf between these two men.
