Reviews
'Eye-poppingly experimental... an explosion of glamorous and grotesque characters - some Victorian, some contemporary and some pure camp figments of the imagination... a dizzying adventure that always dares to dazzle... so very brave and original'
* Guardian *'A radical adaptation of Oscar Wilde's gothic novel that reaffirms and celebrates the piece's significance as a touchstone of queer art'
* The Stage *'Sizzles with homoerotic fervour... a deliciously camp rebuke of the attitudes which saw a man humiliated, brutalised and outcast for being gay'
