Lady
Windermere’s
Fan
by Oscar Wilde
Directed by Colin Ward
Lady Windermere's Fan explores the delicate and fickle nature of marriage and
social status,where relationshipscan mask the dark secrets of people's past and
identity. When her marriage is tested by news of her husband's alleged infidelity,
Lady Windermere becomes entangled in her own dalliance with another love
interest. Meanwhile, her husband grapples with a truth that is more complex than
the lies conjured up to hide it. Oscar Wilde's distinctive satirical humour frames
this tale of secrets, sincerity and subterfuge - but will all the truth be revealed in
the end?
Lady Windermere's Fan is a lesser-known Oscar Wilde play, often living in the
shadow of "The Importance of Being Earnest", but it was in fact his first major
move into the comedy genre after his initial lack of successes with tragedy. It is a
complex story beautifully punctuated with Wilde's scathing wit throughout,
commenting vividly on the nature of relationships and social perceptions. There is
a tension between the comedy of errors created by all the lies and pretentions,
and the sincerity and truth of emotion that drives each character through the story.
This production will be an exciting new venture into the depths of Wilde's work
where we will explore the characters, the themes and the story in a physically
expressive way that goes against the grain of usual "stiff upper lip" comedy often
associated with his plays. With only 8 actors in the cast there will be an ensemble
approach to this play, using multi-rolling and some mask, presented in a very
intimate theatre with an audience in the round.
