Description ▲
Thought to be Wilde's best work, The Important of Being Earnest: A Trivial Comedy for Serious People, is a hilarious and poignant satire of Victorian era social hypocrisy. Witty and smartly plotted, Earnest is filled with memorable characters; all centred on Earnest, the fabricated brother of Jack Worthing. Earnest's exploits set off a series of unlikely events that has Jack and others caught up in a web of misunderstandings and mistaken identities all the way to the end. It is a comedy of manners from start to finish.
