Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde

Mockingbird Public Theatre
Directed by Rene Copeland
Role: Edward Clarke

“Chip Arnold as Wilde’s barrister, Clarke, turns in top-flight performances…”

Martin Brady
Nashville Scene

“Chip Arnold, as Wilde’s solicitor, offers a nuanced performance that anchors the proceedings perfectly.”

Kevin Nance
The Tennessean

“Chip Arnold is also memorable as Wilde’s own attorney. He gives his character a warmth of formality that makes him understanding if not exactly sympathetic to the client, whom he discovers, too late, is actually guilty.”
