Utter Victorian Ridiculousness
Brilliant, hilarious, loquacious and intelligent
A Handbag....!?
Has to be one of the greatest lines ever! Never fails to amuse me :)
Wonderfully absurd and typically Wilde, this witty little farce has been one of my all time favourites since my first introduction, and I would urge anyone who has yet to read it to do so asap!
Kind of predictable toward the end but Oscar is a genius
I like the intricacies in the storyline and how it flows so easily when redding it.
