The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays

by Oscar Wilde
RM32.53 MYR
The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays
The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays

Witty satire of Victorian society's foibles and norms.

You'll love diving into the sparkling humor and societal critiques of Oscar Wilde's plays. His works, including "The Importance of Being Earnest," are as relevant and entertaining today as they were in the 19th century. Expect to be drawn into a world of engaging dialogue, memorable characters, and a clever examination of social conventions that might just reflect, with a chuckle, the absurdities of our own times.

Oscar Wilde was a genius of play writing, and his deftness, wit and sharp eye for social satire keep audiences in thrall to this day. Alongside Earnest, discover a biblical tragedy retold, Lady Windemere and her infamous fan, and Wilde's take on an ideal husband, in this selection of Wilde's most important plays.
