Oscar Wilde’s ‘Work is the Curse of the Drinking Classes’ featuring Will Govan
Armagh Robinson Library

It will appeal as much to those who know little about the man as it will to those who admire his work. 

Work is the Curse of the Drinking Classes has delighted audiences across the world, including the USA, Canada, India, Hong Kong, Uruguay, Zimbabwe, Bahrain & Ethiopia.
