In 1895, while at the height of his career, Oscar Wilde sued the Marquess of Queensberry for libel, setting in motion a chain of events that ultimately destroyed Wilde and, oddly enough, marked the beginning of the end of Victorianism. Gross Indecency uses transcripts of the court proceedings and Wilde’s own words to paint a fascinating portrait of one man’s downfall, told with the fabulous wit and humor that were Wilde’s trademarks as a great poet and writer.
