By Oscar Wilde. Adapted and directed by Kip Williams. Adelaide Festival. Sydney Theatre Company. Her Majesty’s Theatre, Adelaide. 13-20th March, 2022.
Occasionally, theatre leaves me breathless and awestruck, and this Sydney Theatre Company production, adapted and directed by Kip Williams from one of Oscar Wilde’s best known 1891 works, is one such example. Quite simply, 37 year old Eryn Jean Norvill has been given the role of a lifetime and has delivered the performance of a lifetime.
