The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.” The Importance of Being Earnest, 1895
This play by Wilde revolves around two friends, Algernon Moncrieff and Jack Worthing, who adopt fictitious personas to escape their tedious social obligations. The Importance of Being Earnest is more than just a trivial comedy for serious people, it is a sharp critique of the Victorian upper class, their shallow lifestyle, and their obsession with appearances, exploring themes of love, marriage, identity, and social hypocrisy. Oscar Wilde with his sharp wit has again created a play that delves into the complexities of Victorian society.
