Movie Reviews of Feasting with Panthers (Broadway Theatre Archive)
Movie Review: FEASTING WITH WILDE
Summary: 5 Stars
Famed writer Oscar Wilde languishes in prison on a sodomy conviction while a prisoner chorus line struts by, a hard-nosed warden appears in outrageous drag, scenes from his works reveal themselves in a psychedelic hue, mother reminisces, and his oppressed wife visits with increasingly depressing news, all while the day to day grind of prison labors on. This play, written by Adrian Hall and Richard Cumming, part of the Broadway Theatre Archive series, and culled from PBS's "Theatre In America" is an extraordinary mess of straight drama and surreal imaginings that collectively present a coherent study of the great writer's time in Reading Gaol prison. Richard Kneeland, as Wilde, perfectly channels the writer's fears and bewilderment of society's understanding of acceptable behavior and his own eccentric convictions. And he's constantly funny, mouthing out Wilde witticisms like a second language: "To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as misfortunate; to lose both looks like carelessness."
Summary of Feasting with Panthers (Broadway Theatre Archive)
A surrealistic mixture of reality and imagination, Feasting with Panthers takes place in the life, mind, memory, and vision of Oscar Wilde while imprisoned in England's Reading Gaol during the late Victorian Era. Through flashbacks and fast-forwards, the play presents a dramatic, flowing portrait of an era, and of a man whose genius and vitality live on in his own words. Created by Adrian Hall and Richard Cumming especially for Providence's Trinity Square Repertory Company, Feasting with Panthers has undergone a vigorous stirring in this transformation to the television screen.Drama DVD Video
