S1E16: A First Timer's Take on Reading The Importance of Being Earnest

This year I assigned The Importance of Being Earnest for summer reading. And I’m approaching the play as most of our students will: knowing little to nothing about the play, the writer, or what significance we’re expected to get out of it. I'll read it, watch it, annotate it, and then—and only then—do I get to look up some stuff about it. And also meet up with a friend who also read the play to discuss our findings.Second Stage is a Free Zone Radio production.
