Oscar Wilde’s masterpiece follows two dandy gentlemen in 1890’s England as they navigate love, marriage, and Victorian morals. This trivial comedy for serious people features Wilde’s trademark dry humor, quick wit, and a truly clever ending.

“…endlessly funny comedy about courtship, hidden identities and social posturing among deliciously superficial people.” – New York Times
