Lady Windermere's Fan

By Oscar Wilde
Directed by David Byrne

Wilde's delightful comedy concerns high society Victorian morals and hypocrisy. Lady Windermere discovers that her husband has been seeing a mysterious new woman who has moved into the area, called Mrs. Erlynne, who has a bad reputation amongst the society ladies of the town.

Feeling betrayed by her husband's behaviour she decides to respond favourably to Lord Darlington's advances towards her. However what she doesn't know is that Mrs. Erlynne is blackmailing her husband with a secret, which if became public would destroy his wife, emotionally as well as her reputation and good standing.
