The Judas Kiss
Written by David Hare
Directed by Nicky Hubbard
The downfall of a genius at the hands of love.
At the height of his career, Oscar Wilde finds himself prosecuted for “gross indecency”. With only hours before the police arrive to arrest him, he faces a life-altering decision: flee England and avoid imprisonment – or stay and risk everything for love and principle.
David Hare’s powerful play explores the cost of loyalty and pride, and the tragedy of a love betrayed.
Tickets: Adults £18.00, Student / Under 18s £12.00 (plus online booking fees); Available via phone (0333 666 3366) or online here.
