Even if it missed a bit of Wilde's intention, the acting was superb and the costuming was on point. The adaptation remains a rather hilarious comedy of errors where everyone wins in the end.

This modern adaptation misses the point of the play. It might be entertaining for today's audiences, but it does not capture the intention that Wilde had when writing the play.

Fantastic version of one of my favorite classic regency (sort of) comedies.
