The Pequod Review:
The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde's most famous play, has just enough wittiness to overcome a thin and farcical plot. βTo lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.β Or: βI never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.β
