THE JUDAS KISS .. GAIETY THEATRE .. OCTOBER 15TH 2012...

Oscar Wilde returned to the Gaiety theatre in Dublin last week in the guise of British star Rupert Everett, who was delighted to be playing Dublin's most celebrated playwright in his own hometown.. David Hare's 'The Judas Kiss' is set in 1895 and focuses on Wildes run in with the law over his sexuality and the breakup of his relationship to lover Lord Alfred Douglas played by Freddie Fox.. Rupert is as reliable as ever in this highly dramatic role and it has been some time if ever the Gaiety stage was awash with so much nakedness. How times have changed, it would have been ever so shocking and would have caused much controvesy in earlier years.. Today the sight of full frontal male nudity only causes the ladies to giggle, even in more dramatic moments.. Cal Macaninch from ITV's 'Downton Abbey' also stars ... The play will open in the West End in January and will no doubt be a great success...
