The Oscar Wilde Collection - The Importance of Being Ernest, The Picture of Dorian Grey, An Ideal Husband, Lady Windemere's Fan (DVD, Boxed set)

Let the BBC transport you back to the decadent aristocratic drawing rooms of 1890's England. Lovingly restored for DVD, these plays feature a who's who of great actors of the British stage & screen.

Paul McGann stars in 'The Importance of Being Earnest' (1986) about true love being derailed by mistaken identity. 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1976) sees Peter Firth play the eponymous dandy, whose portrait is ravaged by his degraded, sordid lifestyle, while he escapes without a mark.

'An Ideal Husband' (1969) stars Jeremy Brett as Lord Goring, an dillettante aristocrat who may be able to help a friend out of a crisis. Finally, 'Lady Windermere's Fan' (1985) stars Kenneth Cranham in a story of jealousy and infidelity in the upper strata of Edwardian society.
