“endlessly funny comedy…swift, sardonic repartee [that] ripples through the ages" – The New York Times

Absolutely one of the funniest comedies in the English language. Wicked wit and dead-on social satire wrapped in a Victorian confection of dual identities, matters matrimonial and the provenance of a particularly pertinent handbag. Wilde's exquisitely delicious dialogue and hilarious turns of phrase are an irresistible delivery system for his subversive look at society. In the words of Wilde himself “A trivial comedy for serious people.”  And what tremendous fun to cap off our Mainstage season!
