Classic Spring's Oscar Wilde Season at Vaudeville Theatre in London's West End begins this autumn with A Woman of No Importance and Lady Windermere's Fan. Book tickets here from £25!
Classic Spring is a new theatre company, formed by Dominic Dromgoole (former Artistic Director of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre) to celebrate the bold and ground breaking work of proscenium playwrights in the architecture for which they wrote.
Its first offering is an Oscar Wilde Season at the Vaudeville, revolving around his four great Victorian plays, which shocked and redefined British theatre, and still resonate and refresh today.
An earnest young American woman, a louche English lord, and an innocent young chap join a house party of fin de siècle fools and grotesques. Nearby a woman lives, cradling a long buried secret. Wilde's marriage of glittering wit and Ibsenite drama create a vivid new theatrical voice.
A Woman of No Importance is directed by Dominic Dromgoole and stars Olivier award-winning Eve Best. It runs 6 October 6-30 December 2017.
The day of Lady Windermere's birthday party, and all is perfectly in order. Until her friend Lord Darlington plants a seed of suspicion. Is her husband having an affair? And will the other woman really attend the party?
Lady Windermere's Fan is directed by award-winning writer, actor and director Kathy Burke. It runs 12 January-7 April 2018.
