“The combination of Wilde, Busch, and this glorious cast will knock everyone’s socks off”, says Gingold Artistic Director David Staller. “As popular as Oscar Wilde’s work is, so few people admit to knowing this sparklingly surprising play, so we’re particularly delighted to share it with everyone. It’s a powerful piece about standing up for women’s rights, as well, which clearly is still an issue as powerfully relevant today!”

Join GTG for a scandalous comedy of secrets and social scandal in Oscar Wilde’s A Woman of No Importance. At the heart of the story, Lord Illingworth hires Gerald Arbuthnot as his private secretary—only to discover he is his illegitimate son! Long-buried truths about Mrs. Arbuthnot and Lord Illingworth surface, forcing everyone to confront past choices and consider their futures.

These unique Script-In-Hand performances always sell out quickly! Stick around for a post-show discussion!
