A Woman of No Importance - Spring 1993
4th to 8th May 1993
Location: Cordes Hall, Sunninghill, SL5 9NE
Directed by: Jenny Hooper
Written by: Oscar Wilde
Lord Illingworth is a bachelor and an insatiable flirt, who is widely admired for his wit, while the woman he seduced 20 years earlier has had to hide the shame of her son’s illegitimacy. Mrs Arbuthnot brought up their son Gerald alone after Lord Illingworth refused to marry her. In the first act, Gerald is offered a brilliant career opportunity by Lord Illingworth, without realising that he would be the secretary to his own father. After a confrontation between Mrs Arbuthnot and Lord Illingworth at Lady Hunstanton’s country house party, Gerald is forced to choose between his mother (who was wronged by Lord Illingworth) and a brilliant career.
