Join us for an afternoon of Oscar Wilde with Neil Titley's Work is the Curse of the Drinking Classes. Presented in a special, limited run and performed by actor Will Govan, this wonderfully witty and sincere show will teleport audience goers to 1898 Paris, one year after Wilde’s release from prison.

UK born actor Will Govan attended the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London, before pursuing a career in publishing & journalism as the co-founder of The Moth magazine. Having performed Shakespeare in his youth, Will has recently returned to his first artistic love and revived the award-winning Moth Productions theatre to take on the role of Oscar Wilde in Work is the Curse of the Drinking Classes.
