The story:
On January 18, 1882, Oscar Wilde, 27, and Walt Whitman, 62, spent three hours together behind closed doors in Whitman’s home in Camden, New Jersey.
Wilde About Whitman is the story, equal parts historical record and theatrical conjecture, of what they might have said, and done, behind those closed doors.
