“There is no prison in any world into which love cannot force an entrance.”

 

Writing from his prison cell, Oscar Wilde is cut off from the world that once adored him. As he writes De Profundis—a letter to the man he loved—memory, regret, and desire crowd the silence, turning confinement into confession.Set to an incredible award-winning score, this is Wilde unmasked: lover, icon, exile—insisting that even in the darkest places, love can still reach us.De Profundis: Oscar Wilde in Jail was commissioned and first produced by Soulpepper Theatre in 2024.

De Profundis: Oscar Wilde in Jailis staged by arrangement with Emma Laird, GGA, www.ggagency.ca
