C'est l'un des plus grands écrivains d'Irlande, Oscar Wilde est mis à l'honneur dans son pays, à l'occasion des 125 ans de sa mort. Plus d'un siècle après sa disparition, le festival Oscariana célèbre le dandy sulfureux dans sa ville natale, Dublin, où son héritage continue de vibrer. De notre correspondante à Dublin, « Voici sa statue parlante'', qui donne vie à Oscar Wilde, grâce à la voix de l'acteur irlandais Andrew Scott, dans un style très flamboyant, typique de l'écrivain ! » Mary Phelan, guide touristique, se trouve devant la statue d'Oscar Wilde. À son image : Wilde est allongé avec sa légendaire nonchalance, sourire en coin. Gravées tout autour, quelques-unes de ses citations les plus célèbres : « Nous sommes tous dans le caniveau, mais certains d'entre nous regardent les étoiles… » « Je peux résister à tout, sauf à la tentation ! » « Ce suspense est terrible. J'espère qu'il va durer… » Juste en face, nous retrouvons Martin Burns, qui est à l'origine du festival Oscariana : « Bienvenue à la maison d'Oscar Wilde ! » C'est ici qu'a grandi l'écrivain. « Il a compris ce qu'était le culte de la célébrité avant tout le monde ! Le mouvement esthétique était tourné en ridicule dans les journaux, mais Oscar a commencé à s'habiller comme les caricatures qui se moquaient de lui. Alors que d'autres artistes fuyaient cela parce qu'ils étaient raillés, Oscar a compris qu'il vaut mieux qu'on parle de vous, même en mal, que pas du tout ! » Érigé en martyr Et son chef-d'œuvre, « Le portrait de Dorian Gray », suscita l'indignation dès sa parution. Le roman raconte l'histoire d'un homme, qui reste éternellement jeune, tandis que son portrait se défigure. Jarlath Killeen, directeur du département d'anglais à l'université Trinity, explique : « Le tableau commence à vieillir à sa place, tandis qu'il conserve sa beauté extraordinaire pendant des années, et à cause de cela, il pense pouvoir faire tout ce qu'il veut ! Il peut céder à toutes ses passions et à toutes les tentations. Cela déclenche de violentes campagnes de lettres de protestation, dans lesquelles on accuse Oscar Wilde de dépravation et d'immoralité. » Peu de temps après, Oscar Wilde est condamné à deux ans de prison pour « indécence grossière ». « Essentiellement, la prison l'a tué. Elle a brisé sa carrière, et il est décédé trois ans après sa libération. Longtemps après sa mort, le nom d'Oscar Wilde resta imprononçable, synonyme de scandale. Mais peu à peu, Wilde devint une figure utile au mouvement des premiers droits homosexuels. Comme il avait été emprisonné pour sa vie sexuelle, il fut érigé en martyr. » Derrière les barreaux, Oscar Wilde écrivit une lettre à l'homme de sa vie, À l'occasion du festival, ses mots résonnent à nouveau interprétés avec force par des artistes LGBTQ+.

fWotD Episode 3086: Angela Lansbury Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 16 October 2025, is Angela Lansbury.Dame Angela Brigid Lansbury (October 16, 1925 – October 11, 2022) was a British-American-Irish actress, producer, and comedian. In a career spanning 80 years, she played various roles across film, stage, and television. Although based for much of her life in the United States, her work attracted international attention.Lansbury was born into an upper-middle-class family in central London, the daughter of Irish actress Moyna Macgill and English politician Edgar Lansbury. To escape the Blitz, she moved to the United States in 1940, studying acting in New York City. Proceeding to Hollywood in 1942, she signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and obtained her first film roles, in Gaslight (1944), National Velvet (1944), and The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945). She appeared in 11 further MGM films, mostly in minor roles, and after her contract ended in 1952, she began to supplement her cinematic work with theatrical appearances. Lansbury was largely seen as a B-list star during this period, but her role in The Manchurian Candidate (1962) received widespread acclaim and is frequently ranked as one of her best performances. Moving into musical theatre, Lansbury gained stardom for playing the leading role in the Broadway musical Mame (1966), winning her first Tony Award and becoming a gay icon.Amid difficulties in her personal life, Lansbury moved from California to Ireland's County Cork in 1970. She continued to make theatrical and cinematic appearances throughout that decade, including leading roles in the stage musicals Dear World, Gypsy, and Sweeney Todd, as well as in the Disney film Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971). Moving into television in 1984, she achieved worldwide fame as the sleuth Jessica Fletcher in the American whodunit series Murder, She Wrote, which ran for twelve seasons until 1996, becoming one of the longest-running and most popular detective drama series in television history. Through Corymore Productions, a company that she co-owned with her husband Peter Shaw, Lansbury assumed ownership of the series and was its executive producer during its final four seasons. She also moved into voice work, contributing to animated films like Beauty and the Beast (1991) and Anastasia (1997). In the 21st century, she toured in several theatrical productions and appeared in family films such as Nanny McPhee (2005) and Mary Poppins Returns (2018).Among Lansbury's numerous accolades were six Tony Awards (including a Lifetime Achievement Award), six Golden Globe Awards, two honorary BAFTA Awards, a Laurence Olivier Award, an honorary SAG Award, and the Academy Honorary Award; in addition to nominations for three Academy Awards, eighteen Primetime Emmy Awards, and a Grammy Award.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:24 UTC on Thursday, 16 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Angela Lansbury on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Joanna.

Um quadro, um pacto e a eterna juventude. Neste episódio Andreia D'Oliveira e Gabi Idealli mergulham nas páginas de O Retrato de Dorian Gray, o único e inesquecível romance de Oscar Wilde. Entre espelhos, hedonismo e corrupção moral, vamos discutir o charme venenoso de Lord Henry, a inocência perdida de Dorian e o reflexo distorcido da alma que o tempo insiste em esconder. Será que Dorian é vítima da sociedade ou apenas o retrato mais sincero de seus desejos?

Does your face match your name? Surprisingly, researchers have scientifically proven that an Emma will never resemble a Sophie, or a Jack or an Oliver. They stem from a Franco-Israeli study published in July 2024, a collaboration between HEC Paris and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Participants were shown a photograph of a person and asked to choose their first name from four options. How can a first name influence our appearance? What is the Dorian Gray effect?

A Company of Wolves (1984), Nightbreed (1990), Errementari (2017) As horror fans, we might not really think about the amount of horror elements that are in other sub-genres, such as fantasy. Sure, we all know titles like Conan the Barbarian (1982) that has a guy who turns into a giant snake, or Legend (1985) where one of the main characters is some sort of demon or devil, do those elements make it a horror film? We all know that horror is used in many different genres of films, even some where the filmmakers themselves go out of their way to make sure to define it NOT as horror. But we know. But when it comes to Fantasy / Horror, that's where the story might be based on fairy tales or folklore, and definitely has some elements of horror in there, either in content or maybe just characters. The line can get kind of blurry. But we also know that if its entertaining, then does it really matter? Take a listen as we discuss 3 titles that we all felt hit the Fantasy / Horror sub-genre, for a variety of reasons. Tune in and find out why. Titles mentioned in this episode: Army of Darkness (1992), Beastmaster (1982), A Company of Wolves (1984), Conan the Barbarian (1982), The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), The Crying Game (1992), The Devil's Backbone (2001), Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010), Errementari (2017), Eyes of Fire (1983), Frankenstein (1931), Freaks (1932), Häxan (1922), Hellboy (2004), Hellraiser (1987), In Dreams (1999), Interview with the Vampire (1994), Jason and the Argonauts (1963), Krull (1983), Legend (1985), Lord of Illusions (1995), Masters of the Universe (1987), Nightbreed (1990), Pan's Labyrinth (2006), Phantasm (1979), The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945), Sword and the Sorcerers (1982), Suspiria (1977)
Could you walk away from a life you were good at to chase the one you were meant for? Dara Woo did exactly that, trading software engineering for the bright lights of Broadway. In this inspiring conversation, she shares how a tech job lunch break turned into a career-changing audition, and the mindset shifts that made it possible. Sometimes the most strategic move isn't doubling down on what's safe. It's daring to step into the unknown. What You'll Learn: 2:44 Balancing auditions with a full-time tech job 5:09 Weighing stability vs. pursuing passion 8:09 The reality of performing eight shows a week 12:18 A simple daily habit to build a creative career 16:59 The kind of roles Dara wants for Asian American actors Today, Ginni welcomes Broadway actor Dara Woo, whose precision on stage rivals the demanding tech projects she once led as a software engineer. Dara reveals what it's really like to perform in the elaborate multimedia Broadway production The Picture of Dorian Gray. You'll hear how she overcame Silicon Valley-bred imposter syndrome, why she swears by her “one thing a day” rule to keep momentum, and how she applies the same strategic thinking from coding to navigating the unpredictable world of acting. Dara also shares her vision for more nuanced Asian American representation on stage and screen, and her dream of one day merging her tech and creative worlds.

“I tell kids that books are not there to torment you. The author has to get you in the first ten pages. If they do not, they fail, because a book is like a lawnmower—you pull it, and either it starts or it doesn't start.” –Soman ChainaiSoman Chainani wants reading to feel irresistible. The bestselling author of "The School for Good and Evil," series and the recently released graphic novel, "Coven," shares how his own reading life began—powered by Anne Rice, Michael Crichton, and a complete lack of adult supervision—and how those early obsessions shaped his belief that stories should be bold, boundary-pushing, and personal.In this episode, Soman explains why middle grade books can (and should) feel dangerous, how his grandmother's glamorous storytelling shaped his imagination, and what a book needs to do in its first ten pages to hook a reader. He also unpacks the “moral grayness” that defines his favorite novels and his own writing, and makes a compelling case for why kids need more honesty, not less, in the stories we give them.Tune in for a fast-paced episode that includes Madonna, hot takes, and tips for breaking (all) the rules. ***Soman's reading challenge, Immersive, is all about getting lost in a story. The books he curated blur the line between fiction and reality, pulling the reader in so completely you forget the world around you.

This week we are diving into the wildest corners of the internet. From the Idiots of Facebook Marketplace group to niche communities like Theater Set Design, and the secretive upside-down-pineapple parents of Facebook. We unpack the bizarre true story of the infamous 1800s raining meat mystery in Bath County, Kentucky, yap about terrible tattoos, and the strangely wholesome Fish Doorbell from the Netherlands. Think that's it? No we somehow are STILL CHATTING. We spill the tea on seeing Sarah Snook in The Picture of Dorian Gray on Broadway, reminisce about Aly & AJ's cameo in The Sims 2, and the lasting impact of Mumford & Sons. It's a chaotic one.Get Merch: campcounselorspodcast.com/merchWant BONUS CONTENT? Join our PATREON!Sponsors:➜ This episode is sponsored by Progressive Insurance.
