LORD ARTHUR SAVILE'S CRIME
16/01/2010 - 27/02/2010
The Genesian Theatre - The writings of
Oscar Wilde take many forms: plays, novels, poetry, essays, letters and several other lighthearted short stories. In this fresh and clever stage version of
Lord Arthur Savile's Crime, Wilde's short story has been dramatised with great skill and flair for comedy by
Constance Cox. The dialogue crackles with wonderfully funny lines from the delightful characters as this buoyant and amusing comedy unfolds with great humour, surprises and delicious situations.
Lord Arthur's marriage plans are thrown into disarray when he is warned by a palmist that he will commit a murder. With wonderful Wildean logic he feels duty bound to commit the crime before his marriage so that no shadow of infamy should fall across his married life. With the aid of his butler and a cheerful anarchist, Lord Arthur plots homicide with hilarious results.
