All together now: “A HANDBAG??!!
Oscar Wilde’s final play and a sparkling masterpiece of witty repartee and ironic satire on the hypocrisy and superficiality of social manners in England in the 1890s. Jack Worthing, the baby in the handbag, Miss Prism, the governess and Dr Chasuble a High Churchman are swept aside by Lady Bracknell, in search of a wealthy son-in-law, a part hungered for by every actress (and some actors) since the unforgettable Dame Edith Evans whose horrified scream of “A Handbag?!!” made this the most recognisable line in any play after “to be or not to be” . A great chance, to see this live, not to be missed!
