Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy about a Good Woman.
Wilde’s irreverent comedy follows the young Lady Windermere as her jealousy over her husband’s apparent interest in a beautiful older woman with a mysterious past looks set to ruin lives. Deeply rooted in the upper-class English society of the late Victorian era, the play satirises the hypocrisy of the shallow and outwardly strict moral rules in place at the time.
Joining the cast is SCARLETT ARCHER as Lady Windermere, GEORGE BANKS as Lord Windermere, OLIVIA HALLINAN as Mrs Erlynne, MARCELLUS WHYTE as Lord Darlington and DAVE BENSON PHILLIPS as Lord Augustus.
Completing the cast is CRAIG GAZEY as Mr Cecil Graham, LOUISE FAULKNER as the Duchess of Berwick, and MARTIN CARROLL as Mr Dumby and Parker. Martin Carroll and Louise Faulkner will also provide live foley through the production.
This is a Windsor On-Air production and will be brought to life with dazzling period costume, music and a Foley artist recreating sound effects and atmospherics live on stage. All performed on the set of a vintage-style recording studio.
