About
WORK IS THE CURSE OF THE DRINKING CLASSES
Paris, 1898, Oscar Wilde looks back on his extraordinarily colourful life and ruminates on love, fame, family and misfortune with his infamous wit and irreverence.
This hilarious but ultimately tragic story draws on Wilde’s letters, essays and anecdotes to bring this literary genius to life. It will appeal as much to those who know little about the man as it will to those who admire his work.
Work is the Curse of the Drinking Classes has delighted audiences across the world, including the USA, Canada, India, Hong Kong, Uruguay, Zimbabwe, Bahrain and Ethiopia.
