Description: 

THE HAPPY PRINCE…A Portrait of the Dark Side of a Genius Who Lived and Died for Love.

--Starring Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Emily Watson, Colin Morgan, Edwin Thomas, Tom Wilkinson. 

--Best known for his epigrams (ex. “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”, “I can resist everything except temptation.”, “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”) and plays, Oscar Wilde was a turn-of-the-century Irish poet and playwright whose Gothic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray and satirical play "The Importance of Being Earnest" are still popular today.

--Once one of the most famous men in London, Oscar Wilde was crucified by a society that once worshipped him--a lover, imprisoned and freed. 

--The HAPPY PRINCE stars Rupert Everett who, capturing the author’s brilliant wit and flamboyant style, gives a career-defining performance as Wilde, physically and emotionally embodying the literary genius as he lives out his last days in exile in Europe.

--The critics are effusive:  “Moving, unforgettable, ravishing, a gutsy tour de force”  -Metro;  “Rupert Everett is an exceptional Oscar Wilde”-Screen Daily;  “Rupert Everett is MAGNIFICENT!”-The Guardian. 

--THE HAPPY PRINCE opens in New York and Los Angeles October 10th but YOU can be one of the first to see it early by reserving tickets now!
