Introduction

Often described as the wittiest comedy in the English language, The Importance of Being Earnest contains all of Wilde's best qualities; wit, elegance and paradox. These qualities - the only ones Wilde took seriously - are beautifully interwoven in this delicious script that cannot fail to make you marvel at the man's genius and, more importantly, paralyse you with laughter.<ref>Directors note from the main SLT website</ref>
