On the night of 24th March 1895, Mrs Robinson, a society palm-reader,
agreed to see Oscar Wilde in her London flat. Wilde's lover, Lord
Alfred Douglas, 'Bosie', was urging him to sue the Marquis of
Queensberry (Bosie's father) for criminal libel. But Wilde's friends,
wary of Queensberry's power, were warning him to leave town. In
Extremis reveals the strange turmoil of that night, as a man at the
height of his fame turns to a complete stranger for advice about a
potentially life-changing decision. In Extremis was first presented in
November 2000 at the National Theatre alongside De Profundis to mark
the centenary of Oscar Wilde's death.
