"Oscar Wilde's best known work always had a claim to be the wittiest play in the English language" (Financial Times) Wilde's "trivial play for serious people" is a sparkling comedy of manners. This hilariously absurd satire pits sincerity against style, barbed witticisms against ostentatious elegance. Wilde's brilliantly constructed plot and famous dialogue enrich the appeal of his celebrated characters, as he turns accepted ideas inside out and situations upside down in this, his masterpiece. "Comes as close to perfection as any comedy I can think of." (Daily Telegraph)
