Oscar Wilde
The collected BBC radio productions of the major works of Oscar Wilde, plus bonus play by Neil Bartlett.
Loved for his flamboyant personality, sparkling wit and brilliant epigrams, Oscar Wilde was a comic genius and a literary icon.
This collection reflects the many facets of his dazzling talent. Here are dramatisations of his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, a Gothic tale of a gilded aristocrat who makes a dangerous pact, as well as four scintillating social comedies – Lady Windermere’s Fan, A Woman of No Importance, The Importance of Being Earnest and An Ideal Husband. Among the distinguished casts are Ian MacDiarmid, Joely Richardson, Edward Fox, Diana Rigg, Martin Clunes, Michael Hordern and Judi Dench.
Moving examples of his correspondence are revealed in The Letters of Oscar Wilde and De Profundis, read by Simon Callow and Simon Russell Beale respectively, and his most famous poem, The Ballad of Reading Gaol, is performed live by stars including Ian McKellen, Neil Tennant and Stephen Fry.
In addition, a bonus drama, In Extremis by Neil Bartlett, starring Corin Redgrave and Sheila Hancock, reimagines Oscar Wilde's hastily arranged sitting with a society palm reader, a week before the trial that would cost him so dearly.

De profundis is technically a letter but actually is a mini biography. It is a beautifully composed reflection, introspect analysis of Oscar's situation and his relationship with Bosie.
The letters are interesting and I find it easier to listening to them instead of reading them.
If you like good hear plays or love Oscar Wild's stories, a must have.
Brilliant and delightful

Great book great stories. Easy to see why movies were made from them and why they are classics.
There is a new way to experience these stories thanks to BBC Radio (seriously does anyone make a listen come alive like the British?)
Listening allows a person to imagine the characters and scenes. I believe we have great imaginations and can spin a scene to fit our personal perspectives and not be bound to a movie directors vision.
A great book and a great cast

I can't begin to describe Oscar Wilde's works-it's not in my power.
But the exquisite and inexpressible feelings I get-the thoughts-his thoughts which I know in my heart are true -though the power,the intuition to decide that are encouraged by his works-at this point I don't even know what I am saying.
And,finally the last piece when the lady asks us that wasn't it a triumph-that struck hard!!!
I am overwhelmed and thankyou Audible and BBC for such a beautiful dramatization with such beautiful soundtracks.
Looking forward to listening more of these!
