A critically acclaimed new production of Lady Windermere’s Fan will be screened in local cinemas on Tuesday, March 20 at 7.15pm.

Oscar Wilde’s social comedy is the second in the Classic Spring Theatre Company’s year-long Oscar Wilde Season at the Vaudeville Theatre and will be broadcast live by satellite to 420 cinemas across the UK and Ireland including Cineworld Weymouth, Dorchester Odeon and Bridport Electric Palace.

Award-winning director Kathy Burke (The Quare Fellow and Once a Catholic) has brought together a talented comedic cast in this beautifully staged production designed by Paul Wills.

Jennifer Saunders guest stars as the Duchess of Berwick, marking her return to the West End stage for the first time in more than 20 years.

As a comedian, screenwriter and actor she is best known for writing and starring in the BAFTA-winning sketch show, French and Saunders, and the BBC sitcom Absolutely Fabulous, which won international acclaim, a BAFTA and an Emmy.

Double Olivier Award-winner Samantha Spiro stars as the mysterious ‘other woman’ Mrs Erlynne.

Following his starring role in the BBC’s remake of the classic comedy Porridge, Kevin Bishop returns to the stage as Lord Darlington.

Lady Windermere’s Fan also features rising star Grace Molony, who recently won Best Actress in The Stage Debut Awards 2017 and will star in the upcoming feature film Mary Queen of Scots alongside Oscar Nominees Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie.
