IN EXTREMIS
By Neil Bartlett​​​​
March 1985, Oscar Wilde is in a state of desperation, unsure whether he should stay in England and face his legal battle or flee to the safety of France. He consults Mrs Robinson, a society palmist for advice and In Extremis dramatises the strange turmoil of that encounter.
Was his fateful decision to stay based on the advice he received that night?
