Did you know that Oscar Wilde was imprisoned for his homosexuality for two years? Did you know that during that time he wrote a love letter to his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas? A letter which is now considered a seminal queer text and the greatest love letter ever written.
De Profundis: Oscar Wilde in Jail by Gregory Prest and starring award-winning actor Damien Atkins, is a musical fantasy based on this letter which was written a page a day over a period of three months, collected at the end of each day, and handed over to Wilde on his release from prison.
