Comes as close to perfection as any comedy I can think of. * Daily Telegraph * Oscar Wilde's best-known work always had a claim to be the wittiest play in the English language. * Financial Times * There is a real need for an updated, student-focused edition of this much taught play. * Jenny Stevens, author and series editor * A fresh new edition of a theatrical favourite that fully evinces the contemporary appeal of Wildean theatre. * Chris Megson, Reader in Drama, Royal Holloway, University of London * The play isn't going anywhere, and Lucie's expertise and proposed coverage look ideally suited to 'free up' the play from the grip of English Literature study and debate, and give something that Drama teachers can meaningfully engage with. * Matthew Nichols, Head of Drama at Manchester Grammar School, UK *
