Oscar Wilde’s most famous and enduring play uses farce, satire, words, and wit to delight us with the ridiculousness of the Victorian upper class. With romance, false identities, a mystery, and some of the most recognizable lines in the theatre canon, Wilde’s play continues to relate to our contemporary society, where “fake” and “true” (earnest) are constantly called into question.
