Galleon's production of A Woman of No Importance transposes Wilde's comedy drama to a Christmas party at the end of the 1950s. The seamless and careful repositioning of the play from1893 to the end of the 1950s liberates Wilde's heartrending play from melodramatic Victoriantrappings and brings it to an age closer to our own. Whereas, Bruce Jamieson's sensitive realignment of Wilde's text heightens contemporary audience empathy with the characters, their predicaments and delivers a thought provoking and highly enjoyable seasonal theatrical treat.In A Woman of No Importance Wilde exposes, through piercing wit, the hypocrisy of a society which scorns and punishes a woman for her sexual misdemeanours but applauds and grants honours to the man in question. The play centres on the then publically damning revelation of Mrs.Arbuthnot's long-concealed secret - she conceived a child out of wedlock. 'The Greenwich Playhouse really is producing the very best theatre in London.
