About the play - Oscar Wilde’s delightfully naughty helter-skelter ride of mistaken identities, secret engagements, and entangled lovers. A satire of Victorian London’s social hypocrisy as delicious as the bread & butter and cucumber sandwiches!

First performed on the 14^th February 1895 at the St James Theatre London, Oscar Wilde’s masterpiece of the aesthetic movement, the most elegant of comedies of manners, is a rapid fire shelling of ‘Victorian Earnestness’, as ‘laughably pretentious at its best’, and ‘viciously hypocritical at its worst’.

DIRECTOR: Andrew Sharp
