A Woman of No Importance is a play by Irish playwright Oscar Wilde. The play premiered on 
19 April 1893 at London's Haymarket Theatre. It is a testimony of Wilde's wit and his brand of 
dark comedy. It looks in particular at English upper class society and has been reproduced on 
stages in Europe and North America since his death in 1900. (Summary by Wikipedia)
