Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime

Adapted by Constance Cox, based on the short story of Oscar Wilde.

Directed by: Richard Frazer

1890’s London. Lord Arthur Saviles has it all. Money, status, eccentric relatives and the love of a beautiful woman. Nothing can go wrong, until Arthur’s dreams of a happy life are alarmingly unsettled when a dubious palmist tells him he is destined to commit murder…

Feeling only right that he gets the dastardly deed done before his nuptials, he enlists the help of his wily butler Baines and an unhinged European anarchist with a penchant for disaster, and together they hatch a series of woefully unsuccessfully madcap plots to ‘do the deed’. In true, inimitable Wilde-style, chaos, mayhem and Arthur’s sanity soon reaches breaking point…
