"The Other Wilde Trial - The Mary Travers Scandal", presented by Eibhear Walshe, Director of Creative Writing & Senior Lecturer, University College Cork
It is April 1895 and Oscar Wilde is on trial in London at the Old Bailey. In County Cork, a woman called Mary Travers is following the Wilde Trials in the newspapers, increasingly troubled by the growing public outcry. Mary Travers has her own secret, her hidden connection with Oscar Wilde and his parents, William and Jane, and dreads discovery and exposure. The Diary of Mary Travers, re-imagines that connection through the eyes of the central figure, Mary Travers . In her diary she reveals her own part in this scandal, her unhappy home life and her intimate connection with two of the most celebrated writers of her time, William and Jane Wilde.
