“And have you felt that way too,
That someone was in love with you
And was afraid to speak? The air
Vibrated with your mutual prayer.”
Patrick Kavanagh, Grafton Street Admiration, 1942.

EVENT
Work is the Curse of the
Drinking Classes returns to MoLI
Join us for an afternoon of Oscar Wilde with Neil Titley's Work is the Curse of the Drinking Classes. Presented in a special, limited run and performed by actor Will Govan, this wonderfully witty and sincere show will teleport audience goers to 1898 Paris, one year after Wilde’s release from prison.
The play draws on Wilde’s letters, essays and anecdotes to bring his spirit to life in a 60-minute performance which will appeal as much to those who know little about the writer as it will to those who admire his work. Titley balances Wilde’s almost dutiful humour with an unsentimental portrayal of his suffering in Reading Gaol, and his bitter perception of man’s inhumanity to man.
The show will run every Sunday from 5 July to 30 August 2026 (excluding 23 August). Buy your tickets now at the link below!
