Description: Lady Windermere's Fan. A Play about a Good Woman by Oscar Wilde Lady Windermeres Fan, A Play About a Good Woman is a four-act comedy by Oscar Wilde, first produced 22 February 1892 at the St Jamess Theatre in London. The play was first published in 1893. Like many of Wildes comedies, it bitingly satirizes the morals of society. The story concerns Lady Windermere, who suspects that her husband is having an affair with another woman. She confronts him with it but although he denies it, he invites the other woman, Mrs Erlynne, to his wifes birthday ball. Angered by her husbands supposed unfaithfulness, Lady Windermere decides to leave 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. It is then revealed Mrs Erlynne is Lady Windermeres mother, who abandoned her family twenty years before the time the play is set. Mrs Erlynne sacrifices herself and her reputation to save her daughters marriage. The best known line of the play sums up the central theme: We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
