SEQUINS, REALITY TELEVISION, AND THE COMPLETE WORKS OF OSCAR WILDE. NOT MUCH ELSE SURVIVES IN A SECRET BUNKER FAR IN THE FASCIST FUTURE.

A queer musical/nightclub experience inspired by Oscar Wilde, began performances at Brooklyn’s 3 Dollar Bill January 18. The theatrical experience comes from the minds of the queer performance collective The Neon Coven’s three co-founders: creator and star Mark Mauriello, composer and choreographer Andrew Barret Cox, and director Shira Milikowsky.

Oscar at the Crown is set far in a dystopian future, where little has survived save for sequins, reality TV, and the complete works of Oscar Wilde. The show aims to challenge social media-obsessed sensibilities of today and push attendees to dance in the face of fascism.
