Wilde is the master of comic irony in verbal and dramatic forms. Non-stop wonderful, ironic wit permeates these plays. For example, in Earnest, a character remarks about a recent widow, "her hair has gone quite gold from grief." Very highly recommended. ( )

such fun! I love Oscar Wilde ( )

This is a wonderful collection of plays that displays the marvelous wit of Oscar Wilde~if you've never been exposed you are truly missing out. ( )

I have yet to see The Importance of Being Earnest on stage, but I've seen the movie and it translates beautifully from the play. The play is full of such subtle humour - there are characters that you cannot help but laugh at. The whole thing plays out as a comedy of errors and I always find myself saying "oh no!" and clapping my hand over my mouth in delight at what is happening. ( )
