A Haaand-Baaag? The Importance of Being Oscar (And Earnest)
A talk by Simon Whitehouse
More Information (Sussex Living is not responsible for external websites)
We examine Oscar Wilde’s great literary and theatrical successes, focusing on The Importance of Being Earnest - one of the funniest, most performed and frequently quoted plays - to mark the 130th anniversary of its premiere performance. Described as ‘A Trivial Comedy for Serious People’, we explore the play’s hidden elements, how it was both of its time and yet also ahead of its time, and how it satirised Victorian society.
