Oscar Wilde is at his bitingly satirical best targeting Victorian morals (especially marital) in this comic thriller that made him an overnight star. We meet rich, stunning, recently wed Lady Windermere on the day of her birthday ball when a notorious gossip drops by to announce that her new husband is betraying her — with a mysterious woman who is coming to the ball. Be ready for jealousy, intrigue, twists, turns, and massive doses of Wildean wit. I am thrilled to have Peter Hinton at the helm of this production. Those who saw his masterful production of When the Rain Stops Falling in 2011 will recall his skill in mixing style with explosive content – a skill he will be able to put to great use in this glittering suspenseful classic. – JM Lady Windermere’s Fan is recommended for ages 12+ Running time is approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes with one intermission |
