El abanico de Lady Windermere (1892) inicia la producción teatral de Oscar Wilde. Audaz para la época en que fue escrita, significó su primer éxito con el público. La historia gira en torno a Lady Windermere, una mujer de conducta intachable, felizmente casada con Lord Windermere y madre de un hijo. Todo parece perfecto hasta que, en el día de su cumpleaños, una de sus amigas, la Duquesa de Berwick, la alerta sobre una supuesta infidelidad de su marido que, casualmente, esa mañana le ha obsequiado un hermoso abanico. Todo parece indicar que su esposo tiene una amante y Lady Windermere logra confirmar que él envía mensualmente una fuerte suma de dinero a una desconocida. Irónica y aguda, la obra refleja todo el desprecio que Wilde sentía por la sociedad victoriana de la época, donde la hipocresía, la murmuración y la falsa moral eran moneda corriente, con un espíritu crítico que se convertiría en su sello personal y al que no abandonaría hasta su muerte.
