Barry’s operatic reworking of Wilde features megaphones, plate-smashing and lots of German

Gerald Barry's adaptation of 'a trivial comedy for serious people' merits a full staging

The music smiles scurrilously; the audience laughs back

One wonders what Wilde's play gains by being painted in music

It’s all completely bonkers, but I went in grumping and came out grinning

Barry’s dangerous and quicksilver take on Wilde proved to be a great night out
