Oscar Wilde's witty, agreeably
silly, perfectly constructed play has been a stage
favorite since it was first produced in 1895. It's
the very model of an English drawing-room comedy: a
tale of romantic confusion and misdirection
involving two young Englishmen, the female objects
of their attention, an interfering aunt, a
distracted clergyman, and a governess who scarcely
knows who she is, much less where her loyalties
lie. All ends happily, after a fashion (whether the
play's characters know it or not)
