THIS COPY LACKING TWO PRINTS: "Sybil in her Dressing Room" and "Basil in Black Leather Suit" Jim Dine worked on a stage version of Wilde's novel with English director Robert Kidd for the Bath Academie of Art at Corsham moving the setting to London during the 1967 Summer of Love. The play was never finished as the scheduled lead actor James Fox objected to Dine's "obscene" costumes derailing the whole production. Petersburg Press stepped in and offered to print Dine's drafts for the adapation. Mikro 47 Petersburg Press unknown books
