Two tea-time callers considerably upset Lady Windermere as she is happily preparing for her coming-of-age party that evening and admiring an unusual fan, a gift from her husband. The first caller, the dashing Lord Darlington, intimates, hypothetically, that she should console herself with him because her husband is untrue to her; the second, the gossipy Duchess of Berwick, tells her bluntly that all London knows that Windermere is in the toils of a mysterious and fascinating Mrs. Erlynne. Angered by her husband's unfaithfulness, Lady Windermere leaves her husband for another lover. After discovering what has transpired, Mrs. Erlynne follows Lady Windermere and attempts to persuade her to return to her husband and in the course of this, Mrs. Erlynne is discovered in a compromising position. She sacrifices herself and her reputation in order to save Lady Windermere's marriage. This play of manners first produced in 1893 is a biting satire on the morals of Victorian society, particularly marriage.
