Oscar draws on the eventful life and unforgettable writings of the great Irish humourist Oscar Wilde . Bringing to life the opulence and decadence of 1880s London society, Oscar weaves the playwright’s personal experiences alongside the richly textured worlds and characters he imagined.

Christopher Wheeldon , OBE trained at The Royal Ballet School and began his dance career as a member of The Royal Ballet. In 1993 he joined New York City Ballet, where he began choreographing for the company, and in 2001 he was named NYCB’s first Resident Choreographer.

Since then, he has become one of the most highly sought-after choreographers in the world and has created works for some of the world’s major ballet companies including The Bolshoi Ballet, The Mariinsky Ballet and The Paris Opera Ballet. Among Wheeldon’s many awards are two Tony Awards, multiple London Critics’ Circle Awards, two Olivier Awards, and two of his productions have received the Benois de la Danse. In 2016, he was named an OBE and was made an Honorary Fellow of American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
