A wonderfully charming recording available for the first time as a digital download.Jack Worthing lives in the country with his budding young ward Cecily Cardew and her fusspot governess, Miss Prism. To escape his situation, Jack invents a brother named Ernest who lives in London and frequently needs him. When in London, Jack then poses as Ernest. This elaborate fabrication proceeds smoothly until Jack/Ernest falls in love and his fiancee’s mother discovers there is more – or, rather, less – to him than meets the eye.“It is exquisitely trivial, a delicate bubble of fancy and it has its philosophy; that we should treat all trivial things of life seriously, and all the serious things of life with sincere and studied triviality.” Oscar WildeThis short yet profound drama by Oscar Wilde, is a testament to his ability to weave intricate narratives that captivate the reader. The best of Wilde's works, it showcases his unique perspective on life and society.For fans of Barbara A. Mowat (The Taming of the Shrew), and Franz Kafka (The Diaries of Franz Kafka).
