By Oscar Wilde | Directed by Rory Pelsue

One of Oscar Wilde’s parlor comedies, Lady Windermere’s Fan is a masterful examination of reputation, love, and deceit. Lady Windermere suspects her husband of infidelity—and in trying to discover the truth, only more secrets are revealed. Wilde’s play is bitingly funny, tenderly kind, and teaches us that “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
