The Importance Of Being Ernest by Oscar Wilde
A Trivial Comedy for Serious People
A sparkling social comedy that skewers Victorian manners through two friends who invent alter egos to escape social obligations, prompting a cascade of mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and razor‑sharp wit; the farcical misunderstandings and playful revelations expose the absurdity of rigid social rules, the triviality of matrimonial conventions, and the hypocrisy of the upper class.
