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.

The story is funny, clever and just easy listening. A delightful afternoon listen.
Although the narrators voice was pleasant, the young females voices are much nicer imagined.
It still managed to cheer me up on a depressing weekday.
