Classic Spring Oscar Wilde Collection

The Oscar Wilde Season at the Vaudeville in October 2018 was the first offering from Classic Spring, Dominic Dromgoole’s theatre company, founded as he left Shakespeare's Globe. The season revolved around Wilde’s four great Victorian plays, which shocked and redefined British theatre when first performed, and still resonate today.

This collection offers live performances of four classic plays by Oscar Wilde with star-studded casts from London's West End.
