A Woman of No Importance
by Oscar Wilde
Wilde's audacious social scandal drama focuses on revealing Mrs. Arbutnot's long-hidden secret. When it is announced that Gerald Arbuthnot has been appointed secretary of the sophisticated, witty Lord Illingworth, a house party at Lady Hunstanton's cottage is in full swing. Gerald's mother stands in the way of his appointment, but she's afraid to tell him why, because who will believe that Lord Illingworth is a man who doesn't matter?
