The Secret Fall of Constance Wilde traces the hidden life of Constance Lloyd, wife of Oscar Wilde and mother of their children. Her story explores the gender and sexuality of people who `belonged to a future` and untangles the shifting lines in the complex relationship between her, her husband, and his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. Through a drama of magical transformations and mysterious, masked figures, against the background of one of the most notorious cases in British legal history, the play divines the cost of the characters` conduct, Oscar`s plea for salvation in Constance`s eyes, and her heroic exertion to reclaim a state of grace.
