THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST - OSCAR WILDE T...

After all  who has the right to cast a stone against one who has suffered? Cannot repentance
wipe out an act of folly? Why should there be one law for me and another for women? Wilde's
'trivial play for serious people'  a sparkling comedy of manners  is the epitome of wit and
style. This brilliantly constructed satire with its celebrated characters and much-quoted
dialogue turns accepted ideas inside out and is generally regarded as Wilde's masterpiece. This
Methuen Drama Student Edition of the play includes commentary and notes by Lucie Sutherland 
Assistant Professor in Drama at the University of Nottingham  UK  which investigate the play
through a contemporary lens  bringing in the contributions from queer scholarship and
discussions of recent productions of the play.
