Anyone Reading Michael's Plays?

Hi S...can't find the links for Mike's former theatre work at the moment, but here's a little something for ya....before the off B days. This was the last play I saw Mike do. He was, as always, brilliant in it. It was written by his friend Ian and together they were a dynamic duo. The synopsis is there and I guess if you are further interested, you can order the play script through the site.

Directed by Donna Zell (may she rest in peace...we lost her a couple years ago).

In regard to Wilde...he was put in gaol in Reading, for breaking the what was it called...the obscene act and offences against personages in England (yes they had laws against those things then). He supposedly seduced the nephew of a Lord (who was also a prominent politician). Said Lord was furious. It's something I have not entirely researched so I'm not so sure about the particulars. Wilde, however, was known to be "bohemian" at the time. He was a brilliant artist though. Shame how things were then. I don't usually support wikipedia given it's flaws, but it provides some good info:

I potter about in the Victorian era...it's my preferred time period of literature, especially England. I'm an avid fan of Sherlock Holmes and quite the Sherlockian. Hence, my general interest in Wilde. I find the supernatural elements of Dorian Gray interesting. My fav actor Jeremy Brett had played Dorian Gray in his youth and then later, in the BBC version, played the painter who painted the infamous portrait.
