5.0 out of 5 stars Amusing, witty., October 21, 2008

By	Eugenia Maldonado (Mexico City, Mexico D. F. Mexico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In this very special edition of Wilde's theatre, it seems that the commentator is a personal enemy of Mr. Wilde We must remember that Wilde is the unique dramatist that adds sweetnes, tenderness, cynicism, wit and bitter critic of his own age. Even though it devoured him (or the Marquis of Queensberry), but the charm, delight and finess of Wilde's theatre is forever and for everybody. I recommend it most enthusiastically.
