Lady Windermere's Fan

Lady Windermere suspects her husband of having an affair with the disreputable Mrs. Erlynne and, in a moment of reckless anger, flees to the rooms of a charming admirer. It is the scandalous Mrs. Erlynne who follows to save her, and the reason for her intervention reveals a secret that could destroy Lady Windermere's world. Oscar Wilde's first great comedy of manners uses the drawing rooms of Victorian London to expose the cruelty of moral judgment and the hidden complexity of those society condemns.
