Abstract

Moisés Kaufman's hit play Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde re-presents Wilde's most theatrical spectacle for modern-day audiences. This documentary drama, like Kaufman's more recent Laramie Project, arranges research materials into staged exhibition. Concern for sound representational practices led Kaufman to struggle, as he relates, for a method that would do justice to his subject: "[H]ow," he asked himself, "can theatre reconstruct history?"
