Later on they can always retool it as the story of Byron’s wife. There was a doormat!

Shouldn’t this playwright be prosecuted for committing a hate crime by suggesting that there is something “dark” or wrong about Wilde’s homosexuality?
And this reporter should be prosecuted, too, for portraying this bigoted anti-homosexual play sympathetically. I’m surprised that anything like this should be staged in such a center for political correctness as Minneapolis.

Another historical nobody whose only claim to fame was that she was married briefly to a pervert destined to also become a historical footnote.
Wilde has to be the quintessential self-loathing homosexual, flying in the face of convention until it had no other choice but to censure him, then lamenting at length about his doleful straits.

The world is a better place for Wilde's having written The Happy Prince prior to going off the deep end. Much admiration for that and Dorian Gray. Troubled, but still great.
