Gender-bending Wilde

PostGazette: "A chief pleasure of reviewing Oscar Wilde is to quote him. 'In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity, is the vital thing,' says Cecily. 'Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone,' thunders Lady Bracknell.
Both, of course, are characters in Wilde's masterpiece, 'The Importance of Being Earnest,' and these are among the many passages Barry Paris enjoyed quoting in his Post-Gazette 2002 review of it at the Unseam'd Shakespeare Company."
