Thomas Kilroy's latest play, one of the Abbey Theatre's new fall 1997 productions, traces the hidden life of Constance Wilde, 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.
