Listen "Oscar Wild - Part Two"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIt’s 1895, and the theatre lights have dimmed.The libel case against the Marquess of Queensberry has collapsed—spectacularly. Now, Oscar Wilde stands alone, not on a stage, but in the dock, accused of “gross indecency.” The applause has turned to gasps. Former lovers are dragged from the shadows. Servants and chambermaids whisper secrets in courtrooms packed with voyeurs. And every evening, the newspapers bleed scandal, shame, and betrayal.The knives are out—and Wilde, once the darling of society, is now its sacrificial offering.In this second episode, Keith plunges into the final act of Wilde’s life. From the cold, filthy walls of Reading Gaol to the soul-shattering isolation, we examine his mistakes, his suffering, and the brutal machinery of a justice system built to humiliate and destroy. And in the end, a broken man in a cheap Parisian hotel, scribbling his last words as the curtains close.Join Keith for a haunting journey into the ruin of a genius—and the dark cost of loving too freely in a world that demanded silence.Referral Links: Oscar WildeSupport the showFor books written and published by Keith Hocton www.entrepotpublishing.com
