What makes this DC production notable?[edit]

Recently anonymously added: "An important revival of the play directed by the British actor and director, Keith Baxter, opens in June 2005 at The Shakespeare Theatre in Washington, DC, with Dixie Carter playing Mrs. Erlynne. The Shakespeare Theatre" What makes this production notable? And why the link to the generic site of the organization which, as far as I can quickly tell, offers only one uninteresting paragraph about the play, and that not on the page linked to? Unless someone can explain, I don't think this should be here. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:07, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

Incidental music[edit]

"…first published…with incidental music by Walter Slaughter." Really? First performed with, quite possibly; I don't believe it was ever customary to publish plays with incidental music, even in the heydey of incidental music. - Jmabel | Talk 06:33, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

I'm not clear on why this exists, can it be explained better at the head of the article? Carl Reinke (talk) 10:24, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's a famous play by Oscar Wilde? It needs no more evidence than the section detailing various famous productions of it. So I'm confused at why you ask. Have you read the notability guidelines at WP:Notability? FergusRossFerrier (talk) 19:10, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

satirize 'Victorian' morals and 'marriage'?[edit]

i have removed the claim that play satirize 'Victorian' morals and 'marriage' due to several reasons. in addition to having no critical work cited for this claim, following should be noted; 1/ play satirizes morals in general,not limited to any particular time, or set of morals. 2/ 'Victorian' is a vague term. 3/ 'marriage' is not morality as article sentence implied. 4/ marriage is not satirized in play. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sittingnut (talkcontribs) 11:41, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Windermere[edit]

Does Windermere, the largest lake in England, rate a mention in this article? Did Wilde take the name from the lake?--Dthomsen8 (talk) 00:23, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
