This was so silly and funny I was very pleasantly surprised. I think Wilde is such a witty clever guy and I will be reading his other plays now.

2/17/19—tbh wilde's life is more interesting than his writing. but that's just a compliment to his life, bc this is a solidly hilarious 3-act comedy of errors.

?/?/2020–table read over zoom with my friends :)


4/22/24–just did another table read over discord with a different but equally wonderful set of friends :)

A classical play by Oscar Wilde with best dialogues ever.There's a lot of fascinating vocabulary used which makes it an essence of English literature.The play is quite humourous & dramatic,a family play about relationships.I loved the style of writing & characters were great.The play was just great I don't have words to express..
