Kate Unwin An Ideal Husband
Act Four
Oscar was
painted into Love and Death – another of Wilde’s favourite paintings by George
F. Watts.
A huge peacock
feather also flew in for this last scene. Wilde wrote in his essay The House
Beautiful –
“…the famous
peacock Room, which I regard as the finest thing in colour and art decoration
that the world has ever seen….” which was the inspiration for the peacock theme
in this show.
