The Importance of Being Earnest

This brilliant and deliciously witty comedy has kept audiences laughing in their seats ever since it first saw the light of day at the St. James Theatre on 14th February 1895.  In it, a wholly farcical plot offers opportunity again and again for jest after jest to be flung before the audience, to keep the fun bubbling.  Oscar Wilde found in this play the perfect medium for his amazing wit, wit which continually shatters the conventions of the society he depits.
