About
London, 1918.
When wartime hysteria pillories Oscar Wilde's Salomé for corrupting the nation with homosexuality, Robert Ross - the late author's literary executor, devoted friend, and "first boy" (or so he believes) - is once again made to defend the legacy he sacrificed his life to protect. As courtroom circus shatters the memories he has spent decades curating, the line between devotion and delusion begins to blur.
This is a story about saints who are canonised by love and fools who sacrificed themselves for it.
Oxford New Writing Festival 2025 Runner-Up Best Play.
