Oscar the Man, the Myth, the Mother

November 2nd Johnstown Castle Ball Room 3pm

Oscar Wilde was the cherished son of two acclaimed genii, Jane (Speranza), and William Wilde.
“He made dying Victorianism laugh at itself and what serious reformers had labored to accomplish he did in a moment with the flash of an epigram; gaily, with humor and wit for his weapon”
Oscar the Man, the Myth, the Mother is a reading of carefully selected poems and prose that explore the bond between the inspirational Speranza and her brilliant son.
Presented in the ballroom of Johnstown Castle by actor John Aspill.
