Lady Windermere's Fan

Martin Jarvis directs this sparkling production. Mira Sorvino and Susannah Fielding head a stellar cast. What is the secret shared by mysterious Mrs Erlynne and Arthur Windermere?

A fresh look at Wilde's masterpiece of secrets, lies and betrayal. His subtitle: 'A play about a good woman'.
Produced by award-winning Jarvis & Ayres Productions. Martin Jarvis directs a star cast: Mira Sorvino, Susannah Fielding, Jonathan Cake, James Callis, Ian Ogilvy, Rosalind Ayres, Peter Woodward. Social outsider Mrs Erlynne and respectable Lord Windermere share a secret. Are they having an affair? Confronted by young wife Margaret, her husband denies it. Unconvinced, she decides to leave him. A roller-coaster examination of 'good' and 'bad'. Deceit. Infidelity. Love. The tell-tale fan becomes a vital clue as the truth finally becomes clear. But who actually is the 'good' woman?
Masterly thriller - its timelessness reflected in specially composed music. Drawing-room comedy turned on its head in Wilde's amazingly up-to-date study of hypocrisy.
