Based on Oscar Wilde's "The Ballad of Reading Gaol", Reading Gaol focuses on Oscar Wilde's time in prison after being convicted of "gross indecency" for his relationship with lover Alfred Douglas. As his body and spirit break under the cruelty of prison life, and the people closest to him grow further apart, he only finds refuge in his writing.
