“New Wave is the New Dandy”
A Woman of No Importance centers on a weekend house party at Lady Hunstanton’s country estate, where the wildly attractive Lord Illingworth plies his skills at seduction, and the ladies circle like moths around a flame. Viciously funny wit, explosive family secrets and the search for self-realization all play out in the hypocritical world of indulgence in A Woman of No Importance.
“The future belongs to the dandy. It is the exquisites who are going to rule.”
- Oscar Wilde
