“We
are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars”. I’ve taken a half day off work to revel
in the theatrical delights of Lady Windermere’s Fan, being broadcast live as
part of a celebration of Oscar Wilde’s plays of which I am a great admirer. It feels so naughty, like bunking off school
especially as we’re already a bit short staffed in the office due to the Easter
holidays.
Ah
if only my uncultured colleagues had heard for themselves those delicious Wilde
witticisms coined by arguably one of the best poets and playwrights of
Victorian times then they too would be stampeding for the exit. But raised on a diet of Love Island and
TOWIE, I imagine Oscar Wilde is as familiar to them as the Housewives of
Cheshire are to me. Who? Exactly!
