Two men invent fictional relatives to escape their obligations, and Wilde uses the excuse to write the funniest play in English. It opened in February 1895; within three months Wilde was on trial and the play was pulled.
His last and best comedy, and one that survives on the strength of its lines alone. Hand-bound in genuine leather with gold-tone embossing, made to order for a theatre shelf or a gift for someone who quotes it.
