Despite having appeared on the stage throughout his career, Vincent Price’s greatest theatrical triumph was undoubtedly his 1977 one-man show, Diversions & Delights, in which he played the playwright and author Oscar Wilde.
The play was transferred to Broadway at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre in 1978.
In the summer of 1979, Price performed the role of Wilde at Colorado’s Tabor Opera House, in Leadville, on the same stage from which Wilde had spoken to miners about art nearly a century before.
That same summer of 1979, Price also performed Diversions and Delights at Elitch Theatre. (We have the hand-signed lobby poster to prove it!)
