‘One can survive everything nowadays, except death, and live down anything except a good reputation’
‘Wonderfully moving' (★★★★ The Independent) & 'compelling' (★★★★ The Times), A Woman of No Importance opened Classic Spring’s critically acclaimed Oscar Wilde season in the West End in 2017. Funny and engaging, this bold and richly enjoyable production explores innocence and morality through Wilde’s glittering wit and masterful language.
An earnest young American woman, an unscrupulous English Lord and an innocent young chap join the festivities at a lavish estate in the English countryside. Should a mother tell her son the truth and risk social ruin?
Starring national treasure Liza Goddard (Bergarac) alongside Roy Hudd (Broadchurch), Isla Blair (House of Cards), Emma Amos (Goodnight Sweetheart), Katy Stephens (RSC: As You Like It) and John Bett (A Very English Scandal), don't miss Dominic Dromgoole’s brilliant and assured revival.
