When Lady Windermere's Fan premiered on stage at the St James's Theatre in London on February 20, 1892, the newspapers proclaimed that 'Mr. Oscar Wilde is nothing unless brilliant and witty."

The tangled complexities of the story about a wife who suspects her husband of having an affair with surprising consequences (we won't spoil the surprise!) are rivaled only by Wilde's sparkling and witty dialogue. But despite its diamond-sharp one-liners, there is more to Lady Windermere's Fan than mere entertainment; it is above all a subtle social satire that deftly balances comedy and seriousness, particularly pointed about the hypocrisy of Victorian attitudes to women and sex.

Parking available on High Street and on Fruit Street.
