Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish author, poet and playwright. After writing in different literary styles throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular and influential dramatists in London in the early 1890s.

Wilde is best known for his Gothic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray and his play The Importance of Being Earnest. Sickeningly, Wilde was convicted and sentenced to two years' hard labour and jailed from 1895 to 1897 for the alleged "crime" of loving another man. Many believe the harshness of prison existence led to the cutting short of his life at age 46.

Burning Passions Theatre has always been inspired to produce shows that remind us of what it means to be human. Our newest production, to be announced this weekend, is the debut of a new play by Artistic Producer Laurel Smith, to be staged in Ottawa November 28 and 29. Stay tuned for details! ...

Rest in power Eva Marie Saint.

Like many of the best actors of her generation, she began her career on the stage, learning the discipline and craft of performing, character development, and how to work in an ensemble. Here, she appears with the legendary Lillian Gish in the the 1953 drama teleplay, The Trip to Bountiful, written by Horton Foote. In the first such instance, the teleplay became the basis for a subsequent Broadway production. In 1954, Saint won the Outer Critics Circle Special Award for her role in the staged version (which also featured another powerful performer, Jo Van Fleet).

Saint of course went on to great fame for remarkable roles in films from On the Waterfront and North by Northwest to really interesting roles in powerful (but often forgotten) films like A Hatful of Rain, All Fall Down and The Sandpiper.

Like many theatre companies, tonight Burning Passions Theatre lowers its metaphorical lights in honour of her long career and well-lived life (102 years!).

We are currently in rehearsal for a new play by Laurel Smith, which will premiere in Ottawa in late November. Stay tuned for details! ...
