The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays

Wilde’s wittiest
One thing happens when you read Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest”; you are amazed to remember that this play was authored over 100 years ago. For most plays of that era, the average reader tends to lose references and it tends to be stodgy and irrelevant. Not so Earnest, due to the brilliance and imagination of it’s playwright.
