The story

1892. London at the turn of the century – and Oh, what a century it’s been! Queen Victoria reigns supreme as the Crème de la Crème gather at the home of Lord and Lady Windermere in Hyde Park for a brilliant soirée! But amidst the warmth of the gaslights, the swirling ball gowns and the outrageous flirting from behind flashing fans, a secret lurks and betrayal rears its ugly head. Noël Coward’s enchanting musical adaptation takes up where Oscar Wilde leaves off as Lady Windermere’s honor is severely tested when home and duty clash dangerously with passion and compromise.
