“...delighted our audiences of teenagers, parents and grandparents. The production teases the imagination with colourful tales of princesses, nightingales and mermaids, whilst plunging our hearts into the cold shadows that lurk beneath every familiar story.”
Lyn Wallis B Sharp/Belvoir Director
This beautiful and unique production takes you into the extraordinary imagination of Oscar Wilde with a dynamic interpretation of his collection of short tales, - wherein a cold - hearted princess steals your heart, tantalising mermaids tempt your soul away, and rowdy witches drag you into the frenzy of the dance.
The stories are for everybody and as Wilde himself suggested “... for those who have kept the childlike faculties of wonder and joy…”
Prepare yourself for a magical and wonder filled theatre experience that combines Wilde’s renowned wit with gorgeous music, creative and colourful design and unique staging. Wilde Tales is both humorous and moving and filled with Oscar Wilde’s insights into life and love.
Featuring a dynamic and highly talented ensemble directed by Julian Louis; including Julia Davis, Chris Baker, Sean Lynch, Johnny Nasser and Gwyneth Price.
