Set in England during the late Victorian era, the play's humour derives in part from characters maintaining fictitious identities to escape unwelcome social obligations. It is replete with witty dialogue and satirises some of the foibles and hypocrisy of late Victorian society. It has proved Wilde's most enduringly popular play. - [Wikipedia][1]
A lovely way to start a morning! I can't help but try to guess if I'd changed my mind about disliking plays if I'd read this one as a child. But then again, I was so serious then I'd have probably thought the piece too childish.
