  Little needs to be said about this play as it is a sparkling example of Oscar Wilde's amazing ability to poke fun at almost everyone while making you laugh at the witty sayings sprinkled throughout the acts. As to the plot, if you don't know it already, let me just say that it involves two young English men who fall madly and instantly in love with two young English women who of course love them back mainly because their name is Earnest.
