{"product_id":"9780375702327","title":"Gross Indecency","description":"Winner of the Lambda Literary Award\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this stunning work of theater, Moises Kaufman turns the trials of Oscar Wilde into a riveting human and intellectual drama. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn April 1895 Oscar Wilde brought a libel suit against the Marquess of Queensberry, the father of his youthful lover, who had publicly maligned him as a sodomite. In doing so, England's reigning man of letters set in motion a series of events that would culminate in his ruin and imprisonment. For within a year the bewildered Wilde himself was on trial for acts of \"gross indecency\" and, implicitly—for a vision of art that outraged Victorian propriety. Expertly interweaving courtroom testimony with excerpts from Wilde's writings and the words of his contemporaries, \u003ci\u003eGross Indecency\u003c\/i\u003e unveils its subject in all his genius and human frailty, his age in all its complacency and repression. The result is a play that will be read and studied for decades to come.","brand":"Moises Kaufman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ Poetry","offer_id":54424247697632,"sku":null,"price":9.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_3c5e6544-eddf-4471-b979-ed605be255b1.jpg?v=1787664732","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/9780375702327","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
