A NEW, classically staged production of Oscar Wilde’s comedy A Woman of No Importance will be broadcast live at Theatr Mwldan on Tuesday, January 30 at 7.15pm.
Olivier award-winner Eve Best (A Moon for the Misbegotten and Hedda Gabler) and BAFTA-nominated actress Anne Reid (Last Tango in Halifax) star in this stunning play which has already garnered brilliant reviews.
The first play from the Classic Spring Theatre Company’s Oscar Wilde season, A Woman of No Importance will be broadcast to cinemas from the Vaudeville Theatre in London’s West End.
An earnest young American woman, a louche English lord, and an innocent young chap join a house party of fools and grotesques. Nearby a woman lives, cradling a long-buried secret.
First performed in 1893, Oscar Wilde’s marriage of glittering wit and Ibsenite drama satirised the socially conservative world of the Victorian upper-class, creating a vivid new theatrical voice which still resonates today.
“What a treat,” says the Daily Mail, while The Independent describes it as “wonderfully moving… sublimely funny” while The Times adds “a compelling start to Dominic Dromgoole’s Wilde season… the bar has been
set high. A stunning lead performance from Eve Best.”
Tickets for Oscar Wilde Live productions are £15 (£14) and are available now from Theatr Mwldan’s box office on 01239 621200, online at www.mwldan.co.uk or via our new Mwldan app.
