The 4th Wall Players will be performing “Lady Windermere’s Fan”, a farcical but introspective look at English high society in the late 19th century, written by Oscar Wilde;
Lady Windermere's Fan, A Play About a Good Woman is a four-act comedy by Oscar Wilde, first performed in 1892 at the St James's Theatre in London. Gossip leads Lady Windermere to suspect that her husband is having an affair with another woman. When she confronts him, he denies it, but insists she invites the woman in question, Mrs Erlynne, to her birthday ball. When she refuses, he invites Mrs Erlynne, asking that his wife trust that what he’s doing is for the best. Angered by his supposed unfaithfulness, Lady Windermere decides to leave her husband for Lord Darlington, who has recently confessed his love for her. After reading a note meant for Lord Windermere, Mrs Erlynne follows Lady Windermere and attempts to persuade her to return to her husband. Having made a similar mistake in her past, Mrs Erlynne lets herself be discovered in a compromising position at Lord Darlington's to give Lady Windermere the opportunity to leave without being noticed. The next day, Lord Windermere admits that his wife was correct only to have her opinion of Mrs Erlynne completely change. Now the sides are flipped as Lord Windermere insists that Mrs Erlynne is a bad woman and that he only wanted to help her out of sympathy and Lady Windermere tries to convince him that people aren’t all bad or all good.
