Episode 138: Edinburgh Fringe 2022 - The Masks Of Oscar Wilde

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022 series Elaine chats with director Jen McGregor and actor Catherine Bissett about their new play The Masks of Oscar Wilde. A great conversation about covering many things from queer culture to pushing buttons with theatre to make people really think. The Masks of Oscar Wilde Man of letters. Aesthete. Victorian moralist. Playwright. Oscar Wilde wore many masks. But as a well–meaning professor and his eager student trace the life of the legendary writer, it becomes clear there may be more masks waiting in the shadows. As they dig deeper, we begin to wonder. Are they hiding something? What if some masks are better left in the shadows? A test of wits, of "truth", and an examination of the fabulous and scandal-ridden life of Oscar Wilde and the man behind the masks.
