The play "The Importance of Being Earnest" is brilliant and hysterically funny. I bought this tape because I adore the play. Unfortunately, the makers of this movie decided to delete quite a few (very funny) lines and made up a few others. I suppose they had time constraints, but it wasn't an improvement.
It is still enjoyable... but I much prefer the 1981 version. I have both on tape, and even though the '81 tape is old and deteriorating it is the version I will continue watch over and over again. I hope the 2002 version will be better than this!
