Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde is a 1997 play written by Moisés Kaufman. It deals with Oscar Wilde's three trials on the matter of his relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas, which lead to charges of "committing acts of gross indecency with other male persons". (The first trial was a suit brought against Douglas's father by Wilde himself; the second and third were on the charges against Wilde, with the second reaching no verdict and the third resulting in a conviction and sentence to hard labour.) The play uses real quotes and transcripts of the three trials.
