Arguably Oscar Wilde's most well-known work has been brought to life by a skilled cast and behind the scenes team of Company Theatre this winter. Performed at the delightful Belmont community venue of The Rose Centre, the comedy play is winning admiration from audiences during its two-week run (11th - 25th August). Set, and first performed, in 1895 it is a feast of quick wit, which lightly tackles hyprocrisy, class superiority, and dishonesty, and does so with hilarity. Superbly cast, with accomplished acting, a rich set and extravagant costumes - the most extravagant of which were painstakingly made by Company Theatre's costume lead, Cathie Sandy - create a polished theatrical experience. This play is a wonderful trip back in time on a winter's night and a shining example of the uplifting effect of local community theatre.
