Adapted and directed by Staller, the cast will include Tony nominee Daniel Davis (Sir George Erskine), Wesley Taylor (Mr. Cyril Graham), Josh Grisetti (Basil) and Bill Kux (Shakespeare). The evening will also feature a musical interlude by Tony winner George S. Irving.

Stepping away from Shaw for the first time, Project Shaw, according to press notes, presents an adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s "notorious short story that offers a theory about whom Shakespeare might truly have written his infamous Sonnets about. In Wilde's hands, the inspiration for the world's most famous poems is a beautiful young actor in Shakespeare's company. In attempting to prove this theory, a pair of men face their most secret fears and even death.

"Shaw and Wilde were friends, often inspiring each other with their work. In Wilde’s most turbulent year, 1895 —the year of both The Importance of Being Ernest and his subsequent trial, Shaw helped finance Wilde’s legal defense, and later was one of the only journalists determined to keep Wilde’s name as a major artist in the press."

Upcoming Project Shaw events include Heartbreak House (May 12), Getting Married (June 23), A 'Super Shaw' Evening (July 28), Village Wooing (Sept. 29), An Ibsen Evening (Oct. 27), The Millionairess (Nov. 24) and Major Barbara (Dec. 22).
