Using trial transcripts, interviews, articles  and correspondence of the day, we follow the ‘trial of the century’-- the trials of Oscar Wilde. Trying to defend himself from the statement, “posing sodomite,” Wilde suddenly had to defend not only his sexuality but his own writing, plays and art. This is the harrowing true story of the downfall and de-construction of one of the world’s greatest writers.
