Five of Oscar Wilde’s writtiest and best-known plays, including Lady Windermere’s Fan, his first great stage success, and Lord Alfred Douglas’s translation of Salomé, which Wild originally wrote in French. Of The Importance of Being Ernest, his most famous play Wilde wrote: ‘It is exquisitely trivial, a delicate bubble of fancy, and it has its philosophy… that we should treat all the trivial things in life seriously, and all the serious things of life with sincere and studied triviality.’
