Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays
Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays | Oscar Wilde
4 posts | 21 read | 7 to read
A universal favorite, The Importance of Being Earnest displays Oscar Wilde's theatrical genius at its brilliant best. Subtitled "A Trivial Comedy for Serious People," this hilarious attack on Victorian manners and morals turns a pompous world on its head, lets duplicity lead to happiness, and makes riposte the highest form of art. Also included in this special collection are Wilde's first comedy success, Lady Windermere's Fan, and his richly sensual melodrama, Salome.

It is so much fun, such a brilliant play on words; great satire, skewering contemporary society. Wilde draws on the mistaken-identity comedies of Shakespeare while suggesting the absurd humor of Monthy Python. I loved it. Laughed out loud (really!) multiple times. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sue My mother, my daughter and I went to see an amateur theatre production of this last week. The venue is tiny and the cast did a great job. It was my mother's first exposure to Wilde (whom I adore) and she really enjoyed it. 7y
Gezemice @prowlix @Avidreader25 @DebinHawaii Great fun! 👍❤ 7y
Gezemice @Sue That sounds awesome - multigenerational fun! Sounds like you had a great time! I actually listened to a theater production of this, it is great acted out. 7y
