I had to study this play as part of my GCSE Drama course (I played Lady Bracknall :-P) and I loved every part of it. Oscar Wilde is a wonderful playwright and this play is everything I love about his writing. It's funny and slightly absurd which is everything that Wilde is meant to be.

This is a great play to read but an even better play to see performed, most of the humour comes from the way the lines are delivered and the ways that the actors move around the stage. The absurdity of the story is what makes this such a wonderful piece of literature/drama. Everyone should read and/or watch this play!

If you like witty, sarcastic lines and funny too, then this is the book you wanna read. Not difficult language at all. Must read for fans if Chandler Bing!
