Despite the plays early success, Wildes notoriety and prison caused the play to be closed after 86 performances. After his release from prison, he published the play from exile in Paris. The play is now considered Wildes masterpiece. Apart from of a number of radio, opera, musical, and made-for-television versions, The Importance of Being Earnest has been adapted for the English-language cinema at least three times. More humorous dealing with theatrical conventions it would be difficult to imagine. Mr Oscar Wilde has decorated a humour that is Gilbertian with innumerable spangles of that wit that is all his own -- H. G. Wells
