About this title

Synopsis

Oscar Wilde's Last comical and dramatic work The Importance of Being Earnest is a satirical look at Victorian ways. This classic masterpiece looks at the how the institution of marriage was treated with triviality, as the characters all pretend to be someone their not to escape social obligations. The play was an instant success but soon scandal and Wilde's arrest and imprisonment caused the show to close after just 86 performances.

Review

Comes as close to perfection as any comedy I can think of. --Daily Telegraph
