Description:

"Lady Windermere's Fan" is one of Oscar Wilde's first and radiantly indelible marks on the stage. The first of its kind which would be later known as his "comedy of manners". The story follows a young Lady Windermere who, upon hearing the local gossip and gathering of incomplete evidence, begins to question her husband's fidelity. All of this is brought to a head when he, and he alone invites this strange woman into their house. At her birthday party no less! The scandal is palpable. Indignant, she decides to run away to a man who offered her solace, only for that scandalous woman to come and "trick" her out of it, like a mother consoling a child. But the question still remains, what is this woman's relationship to Lady Windermere's husband? And just who is she to Lady Windermere as well? Duration - 2h. Author - Oscar Wilde. Narrator - Brendan Moir. Published Date - Friday, 23 January 2026. Copyright - © 1892 Oscar Wilde ©.
