Photo Flash: It's Oscar Wilde Season at Classic Spring - A Look at A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE

Classic Spring is a new theatre company from former Artistic Director of Shakespeare's Globe Dominic Dromgoole. As part of its year-long celebration of Oscar Wilde at the Vaudeville Theatre, the company will stage A Woman of No Importance, Lady Windermere's Fan, An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest.

An iconoclast, a socialist and a gay Irishman in the socially conservative late-Victorian era, Oscar Wilde broke the mould in his work and in his life. Opening in the year of the fiftieth anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in the UK, this season aims to offer a much fuller picture of the man and the artist, and reveal this much-loved playwright as the brilliant renegade he was in his own time.

Interspersed with the plays will be a curated series of interludes and 'Wilde Talks' that will reveal the deep current of radicalism and subversiveness that runs through all of Wilde's writing. There will be 20,000 tickets under £20 offered across the season.

A Woman of No Importance is directed by Dominic Dromgoole and stars Olivier Award-winning Eve Best. It runs 6 October-30 December 2017.
