Author, playwright and poet Oscar Wilde (Stephen Fry) returns from a successful 1882 lecture tour of America to wed Constance Lloyd (Jennifer Ehle). However, having accepted that he is in fact attracted to men, Wilde embarks on a long, passionate and tempestuous affair with Lord Alfred Douglas (Jude Law), known as 'Bosie'. Although winning great critical and public success with works such as The Picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde's homosexuality is at ends with his repressive Victorian society and sets him on the path to a very public, brutal fall from grace.
