Classic tongue and cheek

i can't help but wonder on Mr Wilde 's undercurrents, the morale fabric of Victorian society and just plain speculation. ...funny to the quick.

Christopher Hurt Never disappoints

The writing is that of quality, but the characters lack principles. The play is said to be a comedy, but I felt distain towards the characters as they were uptight and more concerned with others thoughts than their own.
