GET WILDE IN THE GARDEN

Fairy tales by mid-winter moonlight in an enchanted garden will be the order of the evening when the UNSW Permaculture Community Garden hosts "An Evening with Oscar Wilde: Fairy Tales in the Garden".

Wilde's glittering fairy tales, which like most fairy tales are really for adults, deal with spiritual and political issues. Some are famous tear-jerkers, while others are as sharply witty as any of his theatrical comedies.

Readings will include The Happy Prince, The Selfish Giant and The Nightingale and the Rose.

Performers have been drawn from the UNSW staff and student community and beyond: well-known actors Tony Barry and Barbara Wyndon will also take part in the performance.

Musicians and Irish dancers will lead the audience in Celtic dancing at interval. Supper will also be shared (bring a plate).
