The Importance of Being Earnest
"The Importance of Being Earnest" has been revived many times since its premiere. It has been adapted for the cinema on three occasions. In "The Importance of Being Earnest" (1952), Dame Edith Evans reprised her celebrated interpretation of Lady Bracknell; "The Importance of Being Earnest" (1992) by Kurt Baker used an all-black cast; and Oliver Parker's "The Importance of Being Earnest" (2002) incorporated some of Wilde's original material cut during the preparation of the first stage production.
