The Importance of Being Earnest Audiobook (Free)

This final play from the pen of Oscar Wilde is an elegant send-up of Victorian courtship and manners, complete with assumed names, mistaken lovers, and a dropped handbag. Jack and Algernon are best friends, both wooing women who think their titles are Ernest, “that name which inspires overall self-confidence.” Wilde’s effervescent wit, scathing cultural satire, and high farce make this perhaps one of the most cherished has in the British language.

Includes an interview with movie director Michael Hackett, Professor of Movie theater in the institution of Movie theater, Film and Tv at UCLA.
