A tender love story, a serpentine villainess, a glittering placing in London society and a shower of Wildean witticisms are only some of the reasons this play provides enjoyed greatly successful revivals in London and NY. This 1895 drama also appears eerily prescient, since it explores the plight of the promising young politician, desperate to cover a key in his past. With empathy and wit, Wilde explores the pitfalls of holding public figures to higher standards than the rest of us.
