"L.A. Theatre Works offers only top-notch full-cast recordings, and this Oscar Wilde classic is no exception. It's period satire at its best with a cast including Joanna Going, Roger Rees and Eric Stoltz." --Dallas/Ft. Worth Entertainment Chronicle

"Recommended where audio dramas circulate well." --Library Journal

A lord, his wife, her admirer and an infamous blackmailer converge in the irreverent satire that launched Wilde's succession of classic social comedies. This delicious comic feast serves up a scandal about good girls, bad husbands and hilarious hypocrisy - utterly contemporary and divinely funny.

L.A. Theatre Works, a non-profit arts organization, brings distinguished actors together with the world's finest dramatic literature to create superb audio recordings of contemporary and classic plays taped both live-in-performance and in-studio for later broadcast over public radio. A pioneering lab for playwrights, directors and other theatre artists, L.A. Theatre Works is committed to the discovery and development of contemporary work in radio and theatre.
