It is a well-established truth that convenient scapegoats will always appear when it is the least convenient. Brimming with high-styled wit and well-tailored jocularity, Wilde’s symphonious comedy of errors is a satisfying delight.

Freely adapting Wilde’s play for the audiobook format, BJ Harrison presents a tale that is wildly entertaining while remaining true to the original material.

No Bunburies will escape unscathed, though a dead brother may make an appearance when, of course, it is absolutely the least convenient.

Wonderful writing; very quick wit; plenty of wry social commentary snuck into a fun, absurd comedy. If you like Family Guy or Married with Children, this is like the 1860s British high society version set in Downtown Abbey. Loved it!

Family Guy a la Downtown Abbey
