Lady Windermere's Fan (Act I)
"Lady Windermere's Fan" is one of Oscar Wilde's first and radiantly indelible marks on the stage. The first of its kind which would be later known as his "comedy of manners". The story follows a young Lady Windermere who, upon hearing the local gossip and gathering of incomplete evidence, begins to question her husband's fidelity. All of this is brought to a head when he, and he alone invites this strange woman into their house. At her birthday party no less! The scandal is palpable. Indignant, she decides to run away to a man who offered her solace, only for that scandalous woman to come and "trick" her out of it, like a mother consoling a child. But the question still remains, what is this woman's relationship to Lady Windermere's husband? And just who is she to Lady Windermere as well?

Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde (1854–1900) was an Irish poet and playwright. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular playwrights in London in the early 1890s. He is best remembered for his epigrams and plays, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the circumstances of his criminal conviction for gross indecency for consensual homosexual acts in "one of the first celebrity trials", imprisonment, and early death from meningitis at the age of 46.
*Any views/ideas expressed in these plays are not my own, and I do not believe in the censoring of anything controversial or problematic that the playwright/poet/author has written which will impact the way in which the story is told. The integrity of these works is much more important to me than any triggering content, and therefore I would ask that you have the same maturity and mental framework to listen to these pieces and appreciate them in their proper historical context.*
