Lady Windermere's Fan
Lady Windermere's Fan, A Play About a Good Woman is a four act comedy by
Oscar Wilde, first produced 22 February 1892 at the St James Theatre in London.
The play was first published in 1893. Like many of Wilde's comedies, it bitingly satirizes
the morals of Victorian society, particularly marriage.The story concerns Lady Windermere
who discovers that her husband may be having an affair with another woman. She confronts
her husband but he instead invites the other woman, Mrs Erlynne, to her birthday ball. Angered
by her husband's unfaithfulness, Lady Windermere leaves her husband for another lover. After
discovering what has transpired, Mrs Erlynne follows Lady Windermere and attempts to persuade
her to return to her husband and in the course of this, Mrs Erlynne is discovered in a compromising
position. She sacrifices herself and her reputation in order to save Lady Windermere's marriage as
Mrs Erlynne is Lady Windermere’s mother, who abandoned her family twenty years before the time
the play is set.. Mrs. Erlynne was originated by Marion Terry.The play's Broadway première on 5
February 1893 at Palmer's Theatre was also the first Broadway performance for stage and screen
actress Julia Arthur, who played Lady Windermere.
