About this audiobook
Lady Windermere's Fan is a four-act comedy by Oscar Wilde. The play was first published in 1893. Like many of Wilde's comedies, it bitingly satirizes the morals of society. The story concerns Lady Windermere, who suspects that her husband is having an affair with another woman. She confronts him with it but although he denies it, he invites the other woman, Mrs. Erlynne, to his wife's birthday ball... The best-known line of the play sums up the central theme: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." (Uttered by Lord Darlington).
