The Judas Kiss

Describes two pivotal moments: the day Wilde decides to stay in England and face imprisonment, and the night when the lover for whom he risked everything betrays him. This book presents the consequences of an uncompromisingly moral position in a world defined by fear and conformity.

Oscar Wilde's philosophy leads him on a path to destruction. The Judas Kiss describes two pivotal moments: the day Wilde decides to stay in England and face imprisonment, and the night when the lover for whom he risked everything betrays him.

With a burning sense of outrage, David Hare presents the consequences of an uncompromisingly moral position in a world defined by fear and conformity.

Originally produced in the West End and on Broadway, this new edition coincides with a 2012 revival.

'Superbly written. Hare has taken a history and pieced it together with heroic grace. Vastly rich, sophisticated and heartbreaking.' Time Out, New York
