CHICAGO--Chicago won't have to wait much longer. Court Theatre has secured the rights to Moises Kaufman's Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde, which will be the first production of the 1998-99 season. Court Theatre, which recently revived Wilde's An Ideal Husband to acclaim, is eager, as artistic director Charles Newell declares, "to provide our audiences with a profound insight into the tragic life of the genius who created many of the theatre's best-loved comedies." A director has yet to be announced. Also on Court's line-up next season are Nora, Ingmar Bergman's treatment of A Doll's House; A Midsummer Night's Dream; and The Little Foxes. For information call (312) 751-5557. -- By Lawrence Bommer
