One-Night-Only Benefit Reading of Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde
Two-time Emmy Award winner Michael Emerson ("Lost", "Person of Interest") will star as "Oscar Wilde". Emerson played the role of "Wilde" in the original production of GROSS INDECENCY: THE THREE TRIALS OF OSCAR WILDE at the Minetta Lane Theatre in 1997.
Joining Emerson will be Tony Award nominee Jonathan Groff (Broadway's Hamilton, "Looking") as "Bosie", as well as two-time Academy Award winner Sally Field (Norma Rae, Places In The Heart, Lincoln), Golden Globe winner and six-time Emmy nominee Michael C. Hall (Broadway's Hedwig and the Angry Inch, "Dexter"), Tony Award and four-time Emmy Award winner David Hyde Pierce (Broadway's Curtains, "Frasier"), Pulitzer Prize winner Tony Kushner (Angels in America), Emmy Award nominee Darren Criss (Broadway's Hedwig and the Angry Inch, "Glee"), Tony and Emmy Award winner Judith Light (Broadway's Other Desert Cities, "Transparent"), Emmy nominee Tituss Burgess ("Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"), David Burtka (Broadway's It Shoulda Been You, "How I Met Your Mother"), Andy Mientus (Broadway's Les Miserables, "Smash"), Jose Llana (Broadway's The King And I, Here Lies Love), Will Carlyon (Broadway's Cabaret), and Jake Shears (Bent, The Scissor Sisters), with additional casting to be announced.
Earlier this year, Moisés Kaufman and Tectonic Theater Project were working with the Moscow New Drama Theatre and the U.S. State Department to produce a revival in Moscow of Gross Indecency, Tectonic's award-winning play about Oscar Wilde and the trials for his "crime" of homosexuality. But in the middle of pre-production, the Kremlin blocked the revival because of the play's LGBTQ content. Outrage over this censorship grew as the story was picked up by news outlets including the New York Times, the Advocate, and more. On October 5th, Wilde's story will be heard again and, with your support, more LGBTQ voices will be heard around the world.
