A Woman of No Importance

Our 2025 Fringe show is A Woman Of No Importance by Oscar Wilde! The classic social satire will be onstage at St Ninian’s from August 4th to 16th.

'Every woman is a rebel, and usually in wild revolt against herself.' The price of reputation, the cost of truth: the revelation of a woman’s secret and scandalous past comes back to haunt her in this classic comedy. Oscar Wilde’s biting satire explores the moral hypocrisy, injustice and double standards of the Victorian era. By turns funny and dramatic, Wilde’s sparkling wit and sharp observations on human nature, morality and the consequences of actions continues to resonate in a world where privacy and reputation are often at stake and gender equality remains a major issue.
