Play :: Oscar Wilde was married with two children. This is the untold story of Constance, his aptly named and often forgotten wife. Moving, disturbing and unnervingly funny, this is a vivid and at times nightmarish vision of a tragedy which has, until now, been overlooked. In the play, Kilroy shows three people locked in a marriage, exposing the truth behind this most extraordinary of modern relationships. The Secret Fall of Constance Wilde shows Constance battling with her own demons, the secrets of her past, until she finally learns that 'when one sups with the Gods, one must pay the full price of admission'.
