The Importance of Being Earnest

Meer over het boek

Set in Victorian England, this farcical comedy explores themes of identity and social obligations through its protagonists, who adopt fictitious personas to navigate societal expectations. The play cleverly critiques the absurdities of upper-class life, showcasing Oscar Wilde's wit and humor. First performed in 1895, it remains a timeless examination of the lengths people go to for freedom and the trivialities of social conventions.
