Champagne + Sodomy: The Art and Crime of Oscar Wilde – The Williams Project @ Base (Seattle – Georgetown)

This new immersive theatrical event thrusts viewers from the decadent drawing room to the reactionary courtroom, with a champagne flute still in your hand. Pairing Oscar Wilde’s beloved comedy (The Importance of Being Earnest) with the story of his persecution by the state, as told in Moisés Kaufman’s docu-play Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde, The Williams Project presents an evening-length, genre-defying performance exploring how our culture is obsessed with queer art but terrified of the queers who make it. Directed by Ryan Guzzo Purcell.

Matinee performances are mask mandatory (no bar).

Location: Base (6520 5th Ave S, Seattle)

Tickets $0-$64 (sliding scale offered for all) here.
