Oscar Wilde 
The Importance of Being Earnest 

The Importance of Being Earnest is a comedy in three acts, written by Oscar Wilde and first published in 1895. A great classic for every person interested in Oscar Wilde and his legacy. Wilde wrote it quickly, but then extensively revised and shortened this work to create a gem. Despite its apparent humour, the play addresses the state of Victorian society; indeed, it is subtitled ‘A Trivial Comedy for Serious People.’
