Oscar Wilde's most popular and enduring play is set in Victorian England and concerns characters who maintain false identities in order to escape their social obligations. The play, which satirises Victorian society, is full of wit and humour.

If you could sum up The Importance of Being Earnest in three words, what would they be?

Witty, quick, and pure Wilde

Any additional comments?

The wit of Wilde comes across brilliantly in this recording, where you can hear the live audience laughing along with you. Abridged, unfortunately, but don't let that deter you!

The play as it's meant to be heard.

Recording quality and style was not good for me. Transitions and extra noise distracted from the story.
