The importance of being Earnest
Obra extraordinaria, humor ácido para burlarse de convencionalismos sociales de la clase alta y su moral a conveniencia. En 1895 ya avanza ideas de equidad de sexo.
Genial.
Amazing
This is by far my favorite piece by Oscar Wilde. His comical rendering of high society is genius.
