Directed by Carol Strachan and Produced by Terry Yates

Set in England during the late Victorian era, the play's humor derives in part from characters maintaining fictitious identities to escape unwelcome social obligations. It is replete with witty dialogue and satirizes some of the foibles and hypocrisy of late Victorian society. It has proved to be Oscar Wilde's most enduringly popular play.

Special pre-show lecture
On Saturday, October 3rd, at 1pm, Rick Davis (co-artistic director of the Theater of the First Amendment at George Mason University as well as Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education) will discuss the playwright and his work.
