The Importance of Being Earnest: (A Trivial Comedy for Serious People) With 13 Illustrations and a Free Online Audio Link.

Beschrijving

This Play was first performed for the public on February 14, 1895, at the St. James Theatre in London, and is regarded by many critics and scholars as being the wittiest play in the English language.

The Play is a classic comedy of manners in which two flippant young men – in order to impress their respected beloveds – pretend that their names are Ernest, which both young ladies believe confers magical qualities on the possessor.

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.
