Mrs. Erlynne.
She then confronts Lord Windemere, only to be asked a preposterous favor: to
invite Mrs. Erlynne to her birthday party. Lady Windermere refuses to do so.
Nevertheless, Mrs. Erlynne arrives and stirs up chatter and a healthy dose of
scandal among the other guests. Lady Windermere decides to break the marriage
and go to Lord Darlington, who had declared his love for her. Surprisingly,
Mrs. Erlynne urges Lady Windermere to go back to her husband—but why?
And who is this enigmatic Mrs. Erlynne?

Witness the drama as it unfolds onstage, brought to life by award-winning
director Kathy Burke and a high-calibre cast led by Samantha Spiro,
Kevin Bishop, and Jennifer Saunders. The play throws into question the
society’s preconceived standards of morality and femininity—an issue that’s
still relevant even nowadays—which makes Lady Windermere’s Fan humorous,
cathartic, and thought-provoking all at the same time.

If you are thinking of taking a break and seeing the play for yourself, book a
stay in holiday apartments near Oxford Street. It will only take you about fifteen
minutes (via underground) to around half an hour (by car) to get to the Vaudeville
Theatre from there. You and your loved ones can also spend a few hours prior to
the event in short let apartments in Central London.
