Oscar Wilde About America (English) (97 min.) "Oscar Wilde About America” In 1882, Oscar Wilde toured America… in 2024, he came back. This big-hearted romp reimagines Wilde's 1882 American tour as a present day cross-country roadtrip from New York City to Hollywood, CA. Along the way, Oscar finds the queer joy, love, and liberation that eluded him 141 years ago, with the attendant themes of diversity, identity, and inclusion beautifully expressed in the film's original song, "Be Yourself, Everyone Else Is Taken", based on one of Wilde's most popular quotes. Filmed in London and in multiple locations across the United States (including Palm Springs!), the film stars West End star Oscar Conlon-Morrey as Oscar Wilde, and features Michael Childers, and film/tv/stage veterans Rosemary Harris and Kate Burton.
