L.A. Theater Works will present Moises Kauffman's Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wild, from November 18 through November 22. The production, directed by Brendan Fox, will play at the Skirball Center.
The cast features "Queer As Folk" star Peter Paige (Lord AlFred Douglas), Ian Ogilvy (Carson), Julian Sands (Clarke), Dakin Matthews (Narrator 1), Matthew Wolf (Narrator, Parker, Harris) and JB Blanc. They will join previously announced Simon Templeman (Oscar Wilde) and John Vickery (Marquis de Queensbury).
In Gross Indecency, in three short months, Oscar Wilde - the most celebrated playwright and wit of Victorian England - was toppled into humiliation and ruin. Drawing from trial documents, newspaper accounts, and the writings of key players, Gross Indecency ignites an incendiary mix of sex and censorship, with a cast of characters ranging from George Bernard Shaw to Queen Victoria herself.
In keeping with all of L.A. Theater Works Productions, Gross Indecency will be recorded and broadcast on LATW's nationally syndicated radio theatre series, The Play's the Thing.
Gross Indecency will run on November 18, November 19, November 20, November 21, and November 22 at the Skirball Cultural Center, located at 2701 N. Sepulveda Boulevard. Tickets range from $20 - $48. For tickets call the L.A. Theatre Works box office at (310) 827-0889. For more information, visit latw.org.
