CityLife

A highly entertaining comedy of upper-class morality in which Lord Arthur Savile is deliriously happy. He's a pillar of society on the verge of marriage to the lovely Sybil Merton, when a brief departure from Victorian convention leads him to an encounter with a chilling clairvoyant called Podgers. Podgers secretly reveals that at some point in Arthur's life, he is destined to commit murder. To protect his future wife, Arthur decides he must commit this bloody deed before he marries. As he searches for the most convenient person to sacrifice, chaos ensues.

CityLife review

Wilder than Wilde himself, this frivolous piece of 19th century nonsense is resurrected for a 21st century audience by a sparkling adaptation, inventive direction and of course by Wilde's famous one-liners written with a pen dipped in vitriolic acid.more
