In the second episode of season 13 of the 5 Minute Biographies podcast, we take a brief look at the life of a man who became one of London's most popular playwrights but was also persecuted for his sexuality. After a promising start to his writing career he spent time in prison and ended up with nothing - Oscar Wilde.
