The Importance of Being Earnest - Softcover

First performed on 14 February 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London, The Importance of Being Earnest has entertained audiences for more than a century. A farce, with fictitious identities and madcap antics, and a hilarious satire of Victorian England, this was Oscar Wilde's most successful and popular play--and also the one that led to his downfall, conviction, and exile.
