SUMMARY:Oscar Wilde Birthday Dinner
DESCRIPTION:This year’s birthday dinner takes place on Oscar’s actual birthday – his 172nd (although he only admits to 170). It will be held in the beautiful and historic Athenaeum Club\, founded in 1824 for people who are interested in the arts and sciences. We will be in the Garden Room\, which contains the Club’s collection of watercolours\, including a costume design for Salome by Charles Ricketts. \nOur speaker is Gregory Mackie\, who will explore Oscar Wilde in Paris\, the subject of his 2025 book\, Oscar Wilde’s Paris: Legends and Legacies\, co-edited by Collette Colligan. Gregory Mackie is Associate Professor of English and the Norman Colbeck Curator of Rare Books at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver\, Canada. He is the author of Beautiful Untrue Things: Forging Oscar Wilde’s Extraordinary Afterlife (2019). He is also the author of multiple scholarly articles on various aspects of Wilde’s career and reception\, and a longtime member of the Oscar Wilde Society. \nRead more about Oscar Wilde’s Paris. \nThe Club’s dress code is jacket and tie for gentlemen\, smart for ladies. Smart is defined as no denim\, trainers or T-shirts\, but that is scarcely going to be an issue for us\, given our tendency towards extreme glamour. For gentlemen\, black tie is always welcome but not compulsory. \nTickets cost £100 per person\, which includes a three-course meal and drinks. \nUnfortunately\, this event is already sold out.
