The story

What Is A Woman of No Importance About?

The premise of A Woman of No Importance without spoilers.

Olivier award-winner Eve Best and BAFTA-nominated Anne Reid lead the cast of this new, classically staged production of Oscar Wilde’s comedy, directed by Dominic Dromgoole. Set in the Victorian era, the play follows an earnest young American woman, a charming English lord, and an innocent young man amidst a house party filled with eccentric characters. A woman living nearby harbors a long-buried secret that threatens to unravel the carefully constructed social facade. This witty and satirical work, first performed in 1893, offers a sharp critique of the upper class and remains relevant today.
