Oscar Wilde's comedy is set in 19th century London, and sees Wilde poke fun at the social upper classes, and their moral attidues, of the period. It's a play about relationships and infidelity in English high society.
Lady Windermere's Fan premiered at the St James's Theatre in 1892, and lead to Wilde eventually writing the play A Woman of No Importance for the theatre's actor-manager Herbert Beerbohm Tree.
Initial casting has been announced for Classic Spring’s second Oscar Wilde production at the Vaudeville Theatre, Lady Windermere's Fan, to be directed by Kathy Burke. Lady Windermere's Fan is about a woman who suspects her husband is cheating on her with another woman. An angry Lady Windermere then invites the other woman to her 21st birthday party
