The play attended by the characters in the movie is Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest." The tall, older man who addresses the audience from the stage at the end of the play represents Wilde, who actually did address the audience at the first performance of his play.
When Mrs. Chevely discovers Gertrude's letter, it is laying atop a yellow book with an Aubrey Beardsley illustration on the cover. This is apparently a copy of The Yellow Book, which was a Victorian magazine of sorts. When Oscar Wilde was arrested on charges of sodomy in 1895, he was carrying what appeared to be The Yellow Book, and because of this association, the publication was ruined.
The green carnation that Arthur selects for his buttonhole is a subtle homage to Oscar Wilde. Wilde and his "inner circle" of gay friends used to wear green carnations as a way of discreetly displaying their sexuality.
The new painting which Mabel mentions admiring after her visit to the art gallery is James McNeil Whistler's famous portrait of his mother.
When guests are being announced at the political party in the beginning of the movie, the name "Lord Windemere" is called. "Lady Windermere's Fan" is the title of another popular Oscar Wilde play dealing with sullied reputations.
"Lord Arthur Goring: Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear. Other people are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself."
"Mabel: To look at a thing is quite different from seeing a thing, and one does not see anything until one sees its beauty."
