The Monday Play: The Importance of Being Frank

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

(A trivial comedy for serious people.)
Ernest Worthing, wit and aesthete, bearing more than a passing resemblance to
Oscar Wilde, is prosecuted for indecent acts in the cloakroom of Victoria station... An account of the final years in the life of one of the great icons of the 19th century as seen through the characters of his most famous play.
(Stereo)
