Short description

The story of Oscar Wilde, genius, poet, playwright and the First Modern Man. The self-realisation of his homosexuality caused Wilde enormous torment as he juggled marriage, fatherhood and responsibility with his obsessive love for Lord Alfred Douglas.

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.
