However, it does play on the concept of fans as a symbol of both concealment and revelation.
* Concealment: Fans were often used by women in Victorian society to hide their expressions or to shield themselves from unwanted attention. This links to the play's themes of secrets, hidden relationships, and social facades.
* Revelation: The fan also represents a potential tool for revealing truths. The play's central plot revolves around a fan that is lost and then found, revealing a hidden affair.
Therefore, the title is more of a double entendre than a straightforward pun. It alludes to the play's themes without explicitly being humorous.
