Victorian Classic
Looking for a witty, entertaining and thought-provoking listen? Look no further than "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde, brought to life in this audiobook. Follow the hilarious exploits of two bachelors, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, as they navigate love, deception and social etiquette in Victorian England. With razor-sharp dialogue, Wilde satirizes the upper-class society of the time, exposing its hypocrisy and ridiculousness with wit and charm. But "The Importance of Being Earnest" is more than just a comedy of manners. Beneath the surface, it raises important questions about identity, morality and the true nature of love. Through the characters of Jack and Algernon, Wilde explores the concept of "Bunburying" – the idea of leading a double life – and challenges the rigid social conventions of the day. Narrated with all the style and flair you'd expect from Wilde himself, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone who loves a good laugh and a good think. So sit back, relax, and let yourself be transported to a world of wit, charm and intellectual intrigue. Cast John Worthing: Dublin Gothic Algernon Moncrieff: John Fricker Rev.
