Drama On 3: Lady Windermere's Fan

A fresh look at Wilde’s masterpiece of secrets, lies and betrayal, Lady Windermere’s Fan.

Social outsider Mrs Erlynne and respectable Lord Windermere share a secret; many suspect them of having an affair. When Lord Windermere is confronted by his young wife Margaret, he denies it, but she remains unconvinced, and decides to leave him.
