Oscars People - a play for 5 actors. 22nd May
Oscar’s People is a ‘Conversation Piece’ imagining the interaction between Oscar Wilde and three of his contemporaries – the painter JM Whistler, the playwright Bernard Shaw, and the actor Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree
Our evening is a rehearsed reading premiere performed by a five-strong cast.
It is a glorious riot of wit and comedy involving the greatest minds of the Naughty Nineties and is certainly not to be missed.
