London Triptych
Three men and three eras entwine in this tale of sex and exploitation set against London’s gritty gay underworld. Jonathan Kemp’s London Triptych begins with handsome Jack Rose just beginning his apprenticeship as a rent boy, soon discovering a life of pleasure, excess and new friendships—most notably, with the soon-to-be-infamous Oscar Wilde.
A century later, a man named David tells his own tale of unashamed decadence as he waits to be released from prison, addressing the story to the lover who betrayed him. Where their paths cross, in the politically sensitive 1950s, artist Colin Read explores his sexuality as he creates his most ambitious painting yet. Rent boys, aristocrats, artists and felons collide in this skillful debut!
