Wanted something short and light to read so i gave this a re-read. 
This has aged so brilliantly; still so sharp and absurd.

I read this play and then listened to the L.A. theater works production and I had the best time.

Lady Bracknell is an absolute riot and the whole effect was just such fun.

Witty. Impressionist. Criticizing vanities of society in its own light manner.
A forerunner to theater of absurd. Comparable to Pygmalion or Man and Superman of GB Shaw.
