Neil Bartlett

Neil Bartlett’s In Extremis, a play centred around the days proceeding the arrest of Oscar Wilde, will be playing at The Old Courtroom, Brighton as part of The Brighton Fringe in May and June.

In Extremis asks, why did Oscar Wilde go to see a complete stranger for advice when his life was at a critical turning point?

The role of Oscar will be alternated between Nigel Fairs and National Theatre actor Charlie Buckland, while Mrs Robinson will be portrayed by Hove actress Suzanne Procter.

Where: The Old Courtroom, Brighton.
