5. When socialite and "professional beauty" Lillie Langtry, a great friend of Oscar's, was dumped by the Prince of Wales, she found herself destitute. Oscar's housemate, the artist Frank Miles, suggested that she take up gardening but Oscar insisted she try her hand at acting instead.. Krista Scott's upcoming Edinburgh Festival Fringe show dives into Oscar Wilde's work from the perspective of Lillie Langtry, an actor who was at one time a close confidant of Wilde. Krista aims to explore the female characters that Wilde brought to life in her plays against the backdrop of the era of strong female protagonists.
