The Importance Of Being Earnest
''The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People'' is a play by Oscar Wilde. First performed on 14 February 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London, it is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personae to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satire of Victorian ways.

The Marquess of Queensberry, whose son Lord Alfred Douglas was Wilde's lover, planned to present the wr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
