The Importance of Being Earnest
By Oscar Wilde
Written at the top of his fame — and satirical power — this classic by Oscar Wilde remains one of the English language’s best loved and most frequently revived comedies. Yet while this Irish radical, society darling and aesthetic revolutionary was ultimately too much for Victorian Britain, his timeless comic masterpiece of identity, transition and transformation continues to excite audiences today. This bold new reading of the classic piece is sure to titillate and delight.
