2011 Reprint of 1899 Edition. "The Importance of Being Earnest, A
Trivial Comedy for Serious People" was first performed on 14
February 1895 at St. James's Theatre in London. It is a farcical
comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personae in
order to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the
social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major
themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as
serious as marriage, and the resulting satirical treatment of
Victorian manners and customs. Its high farce and witty dialogue
have helped make it Wilde's most enduringly popular play.
