This was a compilation based on the works of Oscar Wilde. I put it together at the request of a cluster of Irish people in Paris (Johnny Granville - of Johnny's Irish Pub (Tigh Johnny) on rue Montmartre, Father Liam Swords - of the Irish College, and my sister, Stephanie, who had been living in France for some time).
I performed the show myself, and I was directed by Lorraine O'Donoghue.
We staged the show in the Actors' Centre on Ormonde Quay in Dublin - I recall one lunch-time when I stepped out onto the little stage and realised that there was a person in the audience ... just one.
This show was the main reason for the Paris trip that year. I did it in Johnny Granville's pub, with about a square yard of playing space.
I also performed it in Loreto Foxrock, but then it settled onto a quiet shelf.
