Vengeance: The Demise of Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde was a literary genius, perhaps the greatest “outsider”, who has beguiled and inspired us for generations.  His personal struggle for freedom of expression and his fearless defence of his art still resonates strongly in our society today.  “VENGEANCE” is a fresh narrative that tells his story through the eyes of his life-long friend, Robbie Ross.
