Need a quick, lighthearted read to lift your spirits and make you laugh out loud? Then 'The Importance of Being Earnest' is a must read. The other plays included in this book are a bonus! Enjoy!

i havent finished this book but i loved the two plays i have read. ive just begun the third and plan on finishing all of them soon. keep in mind that wilde uses satire and do a little research on the background of this time period and wilde himself. they are wonderful plays and are very humorous.

You're stupid. You obviously do not know that Oscar Wilde's plays were comedy of errors and that he was mocking society. You obviously do not know anything about the historical context about the time period when the plays were written in. Go read children's books that you can only obviously understand. Oscar Wilde's plays are the greatest plays written in the 19th century, and many would agree with me.

"The Importance of Being Earnest and Four Other Plays" - I only read the play "The Importance of Being Earnest" and it shall be the only play I read from this collection. I found this play to be pure rubbish with no redeemable moral plot to it. There was no point to this play. All I got out of reading this piece of trash was how gullible women were during the 18th century and how ashamed I was of the females in this play. I do not recommend.
