Seeing the recent Ncuti Gatwa-led production of Importance of Being Earnest inspired me to go back and read the play. Oscar Wilde writes quips more than characters, but it's all so frothily enjoyable, cut with just a whisper of the acidic, ironic suspicion that Wilde was laughing at everyone in this: the characters, the audience, himself.

Hilarious and brief. Decidedly British. Highly recommend the audiobook. The voice actors are a game changer!
