A trivial comedy for serious people.

Of all of the comedies, The Importance of Being Earnest is universally considered to be Wilde's most perfect work. Earnest, above all, has given joy to the thousands who savor it's brilliant lines like familiar music. Wilde’s brilliantly clever comedic masterpiece was once called by critic W.H. Auden, “the only pure verbal opera in English.” Earnest tells the story of two young gentlemen in London, who each live a double-life, creating elaborate deceptions to find some balance in their lives. Wilde's brilliant comedy captures with wit and charm the absurdity and delight of the Victorian "age of surfaces" while capturing the struggle of four passionate lovers trying to conform to expectations and, in the most roundabout and delightfully funny way possible, love who they wish and live how they want.
