First performed at London’s St James’s Theatre on 14 February 1895, this play has delighted audiences in countless productions. It is noted not only for the light-hearted ingenuity of its plot, but also for dialogue shaped by sparkling epigrams that continue to be enjoyed by readers who value artful conversation. The action moves from Algernon Moncrieff’s London flat to the drawing room of Jack Worthing’s country manor in Hertfordshire, sustaining a brisk comic rhythm as it builds towards its denouement.
