Communion of Lilies, The

Synopsis:
It's 1899 and after two years of hard labour in english prisons Oscar Wilde is in exile in Paris. Destitute, infamous and living a precarious existence under the pseudonym Sebastian Melmoth. One of his ragged tactics of survival was to offer his ability as a wordsmith to write the lyrics to the operas of various composers. Oscar who was known for his lily adorned buttonhole obliges any composer who commissions his pen to also wear in their buttonhole a white lily until the work is finished. This they are eager to do. Meanwhile Death ' the dark reaper' arrives in Paris hell bent on purging the world of these 'putrid aesthetes'. This he achieves by inducing spontaneous combustion in his lily loving victims and Oscar is top of his list. Oscar, however, after his encounter with a flower girl no longer wears the lily in his buttonhole but now sports a curious blue rose.

Geometry Of Love, The - the Marriage Of Lord Byron

Synopsis:
Set in Regency London, this is the story of the poet Lord Byron, his ever-increasing notoriety and his steps to appease Society by marrying respectably. He is aided by Lady Melbourne, who promotes her niece annabella Milbank as a suitable candidate. However, annabella refuses. Meanwhile, Byron's half-sister augusta has come to London and she and Byron are passionately drawn to one another, starting a torrid relationship which is doomed. Finally, annabella agrees to marry Byron but with disastrous results. With the debtors on his heels and facing the ignominy of his sexual life being dragged through the Courts, Byron agrees to a formal separation from annabella, parts broken-hearted from the love of his life, augusta, and quits england for good. This by turns amusing, serious and moving treatment of Byron's flawed personality and the ultimate tragedy it engenders was seen at Barons Court theatre, London, in 2004. the play contains strong language.
