The Importance of Being Earnest

Description

"One must be serious about something, if one wants to have any amusement in life," lets Oscar Wilde's protagonist muse. Wilde's probably most enjoyable comedy dissects the moral concepts and social customs of Victorian society with sparkling wit. Being sensible is extremely boring, Jack and Algernon think, and lead a double life to escape the constraints of society. But when both court the favor of two young ladies under false names, their carefully constructed excuses begin to falter. Cleverly, they make their way through mix-ups and surprising revelations until it becomes clear how thin the line between decency and deception is. Oscar Wilde's classic has lost none of its freshness to this day with its pointed dialogues and a hearty dose of British humor.
