Young Lord Arthur is deliriously happy - just down from Oxford
and engaged to be married - when a mysterious palm reader predicts
that he will commit a murder. A proper English gentleman, Arthur
believes it is his Duty to get this killing business over with
before he marries. But his education has not provided him with the
required skills, and a hilarious series of mishaps ensues as he
sets about finding a victim.
"Oscar Wilde's short story Lord Arthur Savile's Crime is a
clever mystery, written to indict the fate industry with whom
late-19th-century aristocrats seemed so enthralled. The writer Rob
Urbinati has molded the story into a briskly paced comedy of
manners true to its author's greater spirit. A complete delight " -
The New York Times
"Urbinati's adaptation is deft, using the source material to its
fullest and beautifully fleshing out several minor characters only
alluded to in the original story."- Backstage
"Rob Urbinati has done a truly marvelous thing: He's turned an
infrequently read Oscar Wilde short story into a play that improves
on the original. A Wilde ride indeed " -The New York Blade
