Corin
Redgrave performs
De
Profundis
Written in 1897, this moving letter to Lord Alfred Douglas was published
in its entirety only in 1962. Corin Redgrave’s acclaimed
solo performance comes direct from the Royal National Theatre to the home
of Wilde’s
original manuscript, a highlight of the exhibition.
Corin Redgrave is currently starring in The Cherry Orchard at the
RNT and was last in the West End in Song at Twilight. His numerous
TV and film credits include Measure for Measure, Persuasion, The Woman
in White, A Man for All Seasons, Four Weddings and a Funeral and,
most recently, Enigma.
