"Funny and Classic"
This is my preferred Audio version of "Importance". The cast is wonderful and, as usual, the BBC presents a performance to remember. Much fun!

"True laugh-out-loud material"
One of the funniest plays ever written, performed by an incredible cast. This really did make me laugh out loud.

"Wonderfully entertaining ear-candy"
One of my favourites by Oscar Wilde... Is it possible to "hear" an arched eyebrow? Dame Judi Dench is infallible as Lady Bracknell: "To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness." I never get tired of this!

"Hysterical and preposterous ...great fun!"
Would you consider the audio edition of The Importance of Being Earnest (Dramatised) to be better than the print version?Having enjoyed both, I do prefer the audible version with the different voices, it brings the story to life!
Who was your favorite character and why?Gwendoline is fabulously cheeky and ever so witty!
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?Life and humour and fun!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?Laugh out loud, several times! Whilst the premise is ridiculous the playing out of the story is marvellous and the actors and great!

"Fun listen"
This book was enjoyable and funny. Rather a dry wit but made me smile throughout the book. Would recommend it who enjoys humorous banter.
