Synopsis: The classic satirical play about England’s upper class from a master dramatist. Centering on a long-concealed secret, A Woman of No Importance, like many of Oscar Wilde’s plays, satirizes England’s upper class. 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. Only Gerald’s mother stands in the way of his appointment, but she fears telling him why, for who will believe Lord Illingworth to be a man of no importance? A classic takedown of the British upper class, A Woman of No Importance remains just as relevant today as when it first graced the stages of London. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
