Lord Arthur Savile's Crime

Constance Cox’s play written in the 1960s based on Oscar Wilde’s short story as a clever pastiche of his actual plays was great fun with a leading man able to deliver the proper class and fully in command of his huge role, and the set-pieces beautifully rehearsed and hugely comic, aided by brilliantly eccentric performances from the chiromantist and the anarchist, though not all the cast found their class as surely and the prompter was heard more than they would have wished.
