The Trials of Oscar Wilde
Marquis of Queensberry's Mansion, Reception Room
Synopsis Ken Adam
"So what I decided to do was a complete stylisation using all the classical elements of the St James's Theatre and the Café Royal. The only new design element was a very tall, slender French window with a circular top at the end of the set. Then I used Georgian doors from the St James's and I painted the whole floor like Siena marble. I had a very good painter and it was beautifully done. Then I had the idea of treating the set in two colours only – terracotta for the walls, and everything else in black – because it was after the funeral." (Ken Adam)
