I should add a third point. Right at the end Wild suggests and develops the idea that we all have the capacity to do good or evil - an idea now developed into acceptance in a number of modern psychological studies.

Two things. First thank you very much for posting this - I wish a DVD/video was available as I certainly would buy one. Second, what brilliant pacing this play has (not just this production - it's in the writing). Wilde gives the characters time and space to breathe and develop (how facile TV cops and robbers plays seem by comparison). Thanks, again.

@Garmose In our production we have him portrayed as very camp, so the nastyness isn't taken so much to heart. I agree with you :)

I'm not going to lie. I don't like this interpretation of the play at all. Cecil's character in my opinion should be far more light-hearted. Not devious and hateful as he is portrayed here.

"It's no use talking to Tuppy. You might just as well talk to a brick wall."
"But I like talking to a brick wall- it's the only thing in the world that never contradicts me! Tuppy!"
