A Woman Of No Importance (Oscar Wilde) @ The Tower Theatre

Why have a wicked past if youre going to keep it a secret? Gerald Arbuthnot, a young man of modest means, is invited to join an aristocratic house party at Lady Hunstantons lavish country estate. Dazzled by the witty and glamorous guests, he is thrilled to be offered the post of personal secretary to the rich and powerful Lord Illingworth. But why is Geralds mother so against this opportunity of a lifetime? The dynamics of the house party foreshadow an explosion of hidden secrets and societal double standards in a world made for men and not for women. First performed at the Haymarket Theatre in 1893, A Woman of No Importance is a layered exploration of morality, gender, and Victorian hypocrisy, wrapped in Oscar Wildes trademark wit.
