The Importance of Being Earnest: A Nonsensical Comedy for Serious People is Oscar Wilde's famous play, a mesmerizing comedy that tells the story of two young men who lead double lives as a fictional character named Ernest. Humorous and witty, the play reveals the theme of social norms, willingness to accept fiction as reality and a sharp critique of hypocrisy in aristocratic society. With brilliant dialogue, a sharp satirical eye and unexpected turns of events, this play remains one of the most profound incarnations of Victorian English comedy.
