Loved for being unique. Hated for being different.

DramaHistory

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.

VIBE

A lavishly staged, yet intimate portrayal of a brilliant mind grappling with societal constraints and forbidden love. It's a poignant, witty, and ultimately tragic look at the cost of living authentically in a repressive era.
