A real-life production of this play, which James Joyce directed in Zurich, inspired Tom Stoppard’s play Travesties. In this play, a character’s real name is exposed when the names on his cigarette case and business card conflict. A marriage in this play is called off when it is revealed that the groom has no known parents. A character from this play claims to visit a sick friend named Bunbury to avoid unwanted social interactions. In this “Trivial Comedy for Serious People,” Cecily Cardew and Gwendolen Fairfax believe they’re engaged to the same person, due to Algernon and Jack both pretending to be the title person. For 10 points, name this play by Oscar Wilde. ■END■
