Devilishly attractive Lord Illingworth is notorious for his skill as a seducer. But he is still invited to all the "best" houses while his female conquests must hide their shame in seclusion. In this devastating comedy, Wilde uses his celebrated wit to expose English society's narrow view of everything from sexual mores to Americans. Adapted by Martin Jarvis.

A witty play full of famous Oscar Wilde quotes. An interesting view on morality and the sexes in British society at the time. Well performed.
