“Oscar Wilde appeared to be the epitome of Victorian respectability, an intellectual and playwright known for his incredible wit, with a beautiful wife and two fine young sons.  At the height of his fame, he met Lord Alfred Douglas, a dashing young man with whom he fell head over heels in love.  Now, Oscar knew it to be true that ‘In married life three is company and two is none’.”
