About The Event
‘We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.’
The Putney Theatre Company’s production of Lady Windermere’s Fan, is opening next month at Putney Arts Theatre in South West London.
When Lady Windermere comes to believe her husband is having an affair with the notorious Mrs Erlynne, she makes a decision that has dramatic repercussions for everyone involved. Produced on the London stage in 1892, Lady Windermere’s Fan was Oscar Wilde’s first great success and launched the playwright high into the London society his work so bitingly satirises. A sparkling comedy of manners with a compelling moral dilemma at its heart, it contains many of the playwright’s most famous lines.
Stylish, gripping and wonderfully witty, Lady Windermere’s Fan is both a glorious entertainment and a fascinating comment on what it truly means to be good. A ‘must see’, from one of our greatest dramatists, and the most celebrated and notorious personality of his, and possibly even our own, time.
