More Information Presenting Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy of wit and wisdom, The Importance of Being Earnest. This 1895 masterpiece is one of the most famous of all comedies. It revolves around an ingenious case of mistaken identity and is filled with some of the wittiest language to be found in the English-speaking theatre. The characters gently challenge the traditional moral platitudes saying that “divorces are made in heaven” and “the truth isn’t quite the sort of thing one tells to a nice, sweet, refined girl.” If you love clever language, Mr. Wilde has created a banquet for you!
