The Judas Kiss revolves around two pivotal moments in his life: the day when, cajoled by Bosie into an ill-fated trial, he decides to stay in England and face imprisonment, and a night when, after his release two years later, the lover for whom he risked everything betrays him again. Punished for “the love that dare not speak its name,” Wilde remained devoted to his beloved, Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas. Yet by summer he was serving two years in prison for gross indecency. His masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest, was a hit in the West End and he was the toast of London. In spring of 1895, Oscar Wilde was larger than life.
