Theatre Review: Gross Indecency
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Playing Oscar Wilde, Michael Pennington often gives the impression that here is a man who would have been happier penning and improving a Temperance tract than composing The Picture of Dorian Gray. Yet that doesn't matter, as the arrangement of the material surrounding Wilde's infamous trials is so intelligent and compelling, and the Brechtian presentational style adopted is so apt and penetrating. The event is like a cross between courtroom drama and a fascinating crosscut mosaic.
