In this 10-week course we'll be looking at the work and on-screen representations of the playwright and novelist Oscar Wilde. A man who challenged the mores of his time and suffered for it, Wilde's work reveals an incisive, probing mind, allied with an often-wayward heart.

Oscar Wilde is a playwright, novelist, wit and, more than anything, an icon. A man who challenged the mores of his time and suffered for it, his work reveals an incisive, probing mind, allied with an often-wayward heart.

In this 10-week course led by tutor Kenton Hall, we'll be looking at not only the film and television versions of his plays and books, but also our fascination with revisiting the man himself on screen.
