I am a gigantic fan of Oscar Wilde. The Importance of Being Earnest was one of the few plays I’ve read, laughing out loud the entire time. (A Midsummer Night’s Dream is also LOL-worthy.)
Seriously, it’s like half the lines were written for The Dowager Countess — or the Dowager’s snappy conversation was directly inspired by Wilde’s play. HMMM. I sense a re-watch and a re-read in my very near future …
