We need help spreading the word and getting the buzz going to support this piece, which not only honors the man, but is also an increasingly topical story considering recent current events such as: Proposition 8 in California, marriage equality, and the battle over the legislation of love.

"Morality, like art, needs a line drawn someplace." - Oscar Wilde		Olio Theatre Works Presents A Los Angeles Premiere Production Written and Directed by Terra Taylor Knudson August 15 - September 13, 2009 at The Lyric Theatre in Los Angeles When celebrated poet Oscar Wilde is charged with a criminal felony for his affair with the son of a gentleman, he is faced with the ultimate choice: deny his true nature, or declare himself a man of honor and risk losing everything. What happens next is the stuff that legends and martyrs are made of. "Intimately Wilde" is not a story of punishment or regret. Rather, it celebrates the force of Wilde's spirit and his determination to remain true to himself, his art, and the two people he cherishes above all else: his wife and his lover. A portion of the profits from ticket sales goes to support The California Courage Campaign; an organization dedicated to furthering social justice in the state of California.
