It includes all the banter, sly innuendo, commentary and verbal farce that Wilde is remembered for. Unlike The Importance Of Being Ernest, another of Wilde's plays of modern life, A Woman of No Importance, first staged in 1893, has a serious edge to it. It exposes society's double standards in its treatment of women at the time and is a witty commentary on class. The biting satire does not dim the moving story of an unmarried mother who is brought to ruin by a faithless peer. This searing observation of Victorian society is filled with memorable quotes and epigrams to leave you celebrating both the craft and genius.
