Slade Wolfe Enterprises Limited A Forgotten Woman: Mrs Oscar Wilde
Theatre
12+
Constance Lloyd is rarely remembered in literary history, overshadowed by her infamous husband. Feminist, writer and mother, her life is told through letter excerpts written in her own hand, revealing wit to rival Oscar’s, with dry humour and fierce selfhood. From a troubled childhood to society womanhood and quiet tragedy, this intimate solo performance restores a voice history diminished, inviting audiences to root for a brilliant, resilient heroine. Her story unfolds with grace, courage, humour and defiance. ‘Engaging... fascinating... flawless’ ★★★★★ (Open Door). ‘Gut-writhingly convincing’ ★★★★ (TheReviewsHub,com). ‘Wolfe excels’ ★★★★ (Fringe Guru).
