Here's what critics are saying about "Gross Indecency, the Three Trials of Oscar Wilde"

This play has been my primary focus for about five years. I've been trying to put this production together for that long. Now, it's a reality and it's getting great reviews. I am very proud of this show and hope you get to see it if you're in LA. It is the most mature work I have done to date. I have an amazing cast and had a terrific production crew to help build it and a great stage manager, Amanda Peterson, who is half my brain most of the time. Please check it out.

LA Weekly
“Susan Lee directs with brisk, efficient clarity.”

“Darrell Philip and Dean Farrell Bruggeman score as the rival attorneys.”

“The notion of casting women (Casey Kramer, Allie Costa, Beth Ricketson, and JC Henning) as Oscar's "rent boys" seemed initially perverse, but they provide deft characterizations and sly comedy”


Stage Scene LA
“It is powerful indeed to see the broken man Lordygan (as Wilde) has become by play’s end.”

“As Lord Alfred, Grant does lovely, nuanced, deeply felt work.”

“Best of all among the supporting players are the superb Kramer and Henning, who zip in and out of costumes (and accents and gender) to stunning effect.”

“Lee’s direction is inventive, and she has a good visual sense.”

“(Andrew) Hagan is particularly good as the coarse, brutish Queensberry.”

SoCal.com
“Insanely well-cast in their roles were Kerr Seth Lordygan as Oscar Wilde, Joshua Grant as Lord Alfred Douglas and Andrew Hagan as the Marquess of Queensberry, Douglas’s indignant father.”




(Kerr Seth Lorydgan as Oscar Wilde)

“The chemistry between Lordygan and Grant as lovers was just as undeniably convincing as the hatred between Hagan and Grant as father and son.”


Review Plays.com:
“Wilde’s story is gripping and sad and “Gross Indecency” is worth seeing. “

“Wilde, who is brilliantly performed by Kerr Seth Lordygan.”

Edge Los Angeles:
Susan Lee, the director...has successfully managed a moving and involving production of this play with a talented cast capable of cutting to the truth of each character. Her approach seeks to answer the question of who or what dictates morality.

Although Kerr Seth Lorygan doesn’t resemble Wilde, his portrayal in this play is compelling so much so that his persona has you believing all that Wilde encompassed.

This production is worthy of a wonderful presentation that effectively serves Kaufman’s play wonderfully.
