The production was nominated for multiple Off-Westend Awards[2] and subsequently toured the UK before transferring to 59E59 Theatres in Manhattan in 2015[3] where it was awarded a New York Times Critic's Pick[4] and named as one of the best theater shows of 2015 by the New York Times.

In May 2016 Nicole Kidman and her production company Blossom Films announced that she had optioned the rights to "Cuddles" and that Wilde would be adapting the play for screen.

[10] One of Wilde's early plays, Last of the Pigs, was inspired by his home town's fight against a planned Tesco store.

[11] Supported by Hightide Festival, it documented the contrasting motivations of different generations - 20 somethings struggling in austerity Britain, who wanted jobs, and their parents' interest in maintaining a traditional town.

[12] Local journalists even speculated Wilde's writings may have affected Tesco's sales.
