Brilliant!
Amazing performances, truly remarkable, complemented by a wonderful, witty, and humorous story! I enjoyed the accents and tones of the voices. Stephen Fry never disappoints me!

Loved it
I've never read the importance of being Ernest so had no idea what to expect. I found this well written, witty and generally pretty enjoyable. The music finished it off for me 👍

A great way of experiencing the play
A pure joy, and very well produced and acted. The only jarring element is the jazz music. The Importance of Being Earnest is a play of the 1890s or it is nothing. Ragtime, perhaps but not interwar Swing! Anyway, a minor irritant only. The play itself is a constant marvel, and remains one of the funniest things ever written.

A very entertaining podcast, funny, quite quirky
I enjoyed this podcast and found myself laughing over the tangled webs that were being spun, infectious, loved that the tables were turned on the guys by their pupil, narration was hilarious

Great fun
Enjoyable classic farce which always amuses, no matter how many times you've seen/heard it. Brilliantly executed, except for the 'music', which was strangely intrusive and inappropriate.

Excellent version of a favourite play
Really enjoyed it, especially Stephen Fry as Lady Bracknell. I never get tired of this play when well performed

One of my favourite plays
Absolutely hilarious and incredibly witty, Oscar Wilde takes on all elements of 19th Century society, comedic plays and any other institution that crosses his path.
Incredibly tightly plotted and full of double meanings, mistaken identities and all manner of comedy tropes.
It's a bit weird that this is billed as "Starring Stephen Fry" when he plays Lady Bracknell who typically receives a lower billing than Jack, Algernon, Gwendolin and sometimes Cecilia.
