About this listen
Oscar Wilde's play, "The Importance of Being Earnest: A Trivial Comedy for Serious People" introduces the main characters and outlines the three acts' settings. The dialogue reveals a complex web of deception involving assumed identities to escape societal obligations, particularly concerning the character of "Ernest" and the concept of "Bunburying." Romantic entanglements arise as two young women, Gwendolen and Cecily, believe they are engaged to the same man named Ernest, leading to comic confrontations and social commentary on Victorian customs and class distinctions, culminating in the arrival of Lady Bracknell whose formidable presence further complicates the relationships.
