The day of Lady Windermere’s birthday party, and all is perfectly in order. Until her friend Lord Darlington plants a seed of suspicion. Is her husband having an affair? And will the other woman really attend the party?

‘You gave me this fan today; it was your birthday present. If that woman crosses my threshold, I shall strike her across the face with it’

Lady Windermere’s Fan will play as part of Classic Spring’s year long Oscar Wilde season at the Vaudeville Theatre, which will open with a production of Dominic Dromgoole’s production of  A Woman of No Importance, which begins previews on Friday 6 October.
