There are few playwrights who could match the dazzling wit of Oscar Wilde, and few comedies that have remained as fresh, funny, and surprisingly moving as Lady Windermere’s Fan.
In this celebrated BBC Saturday Night Theatre production, London society is thrown into turmoil when Lady Windermere begins to suspect that her devoted husband is hiding a shocking secret involving the mysterious Mrs. Erlynne. As rumors spread and emotions boil over, Wilde peels back the polished veneer of Victorian high society to reveal a deeply human story of love, sacrifice, forgiveness, and the danger of judging others too quickly.
Filled with unforgettable characters, brilliant dialogue, and some of the sharpest observations ever written about human nature, Lady Windermere’s Fan remains one of the greatest comedies in the English language.
Whether you’re discovering Oscar Wilde for the first time or returning to an old favorite, settle in for an evening of classic radio drama from one of Britain’s finest dramatic series.
