Wildean

At the defiant Wildean center is infamous Salome, Herod’s manipulative stepdaughter.

His badinage is hardly Wildean, but his put-downs, honed to the sharpness of stilettos, are many people’s idea of fun.

There, the Wildean axiom “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars” is viscerally felt — and it’s a sentiment that pulses through the cultural blood of the city.

"Whether you enjoy this show as a star vehicle, a Wildean debate on morality versus self-expression, or a cutting-edge piece of mixed-media art, it's an extraordinary event."

Stoppard himself liked to say, in Wildean style, “I should have the courage of my lack of convictions.”
