A one-man play focusing on the self-imposed exile of Oscar Wilde's beau, Bosie (Lord Alfred Bruce Douglas), who has been shunned from London's High Society as Wilde's scandalous story unfolds towards trial.
In a Parisian salon, May 1895, Bosie contemplates his own story. Ruminating on his sexuality and prowess, his hunger for position and status, Bosie explores his journey in homosexuality and relationships. Shocking, abrasive and, at times, downright uncouth, the devilish details of his dalliances and affairs come to the fore—but at what point will he accept some responsibility for his current situation?
Passionate and direct, sumptuous and scandalous, Bosie is ready to spill the Victorian tea—well, his own version of it at least.
