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. β€œTo lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.” Or: β€œI never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”
