The Importance of Being Earnest

“Truth,” said Oscar Wilde, “is independent of facts always, inventing or selecting them at pleasure.” Wilde’s topsy-turvy farce is rife with mistaken identities, misguided lovers and a misplaced handbag. But it also takes a serious swipe at hypocrisy and the constraints of morality – subjects that never go out of style.
