About this audiobook

Two gentlemen create elaborate alter-egos to escape the burdens of social duty, leading to a hilarious tangle of mistaken identities and romantic chaos. This play is the pinnacle of the comedy of manners, where every line is a polished jewel of wit and social commentary. From the interrogation of Lady Bracknell to the mystery of the christenings, the narrative celebrates the glorious absurdity of Victorian etiquette. It remains a triumphant masterpiece of the trivial and the profound.
