May 25, 1895: The Day His Conviction Brought Down the House
A successful business can collapse faster than it was built when its value depends on a single name.
On May 25, 1895, Oscar Wilde was convicted of gross indecency, triggering the rapid collapse of a career built on reputation, public persona, and cultural influence. As his legal situation unfolded, theaters, audiences, and partners responded quickly, showing how fragile a business can be when identity and value are inseparable.
