LADY HUNSTANTON. Politics are in a sad way everywhere, I am told. They certainly are in England. Dear Mr. Cardew is ruining the country. I wonder Mrs. Cardew allows him. I am sure, Lord Illingworth, you don't think that uneducated people should be allowed to have votes?

Review:
Classic Wilde in many respects: a comic melodrama populated by a combination of stuffy society types and devil-may-care Wildean stand-ins whose quips and paradoxical epigrams cut through the delusions and hypocrisies of their milieu. --Irish Theatre Magazine
Synopsis:
One of the three famous social melodramas that Oscar Wilde wrote before turning to society comedy with "The Importance of Being Earnest". Revived in the West End with Prunella Scales and Samantha Bond. All four of Wilde's full-length plays are now in Drama Classics.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price What's the point in having a wicked past if you're going to keep it secret? Oscar Wilde's play A Woman of No Importance is an audacious drama of social scandal that centres around the revelation of Mrs Arbuthnot's long-concealed secret. A house party is in full swing at Lady Hunstanton's country home, when it is announced that Gerald Arbuthnot has been appointed secretary to the sophisticated, witty Lord Illingworth. Gerald's mother stands in the way of his appointment, but fears to tell him why, for who will believe Lord Illingworth to be a man of no importance? A Woman of No Importance was first performed in April 1893 at the Haymarket Theatre, London. This edition in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics series is edited and introduced by Emma French. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004684428
