Hard to judge because this is an anthology of 4 Wilde plays and a stage adaptation of a Wilde novel. The first 3 plays I'd rate about a 4. The Importance of Being Earnest I'd rate a 5. The stage adaptation of The Portrait of Dorian Gray I'd give 2.5 stars. It really just doesn't fit in with the plays, and as an adaptation, it lacks the sparkling dialog of the actual plays.
The recordings are full cast recordings of staged plays, so you hear audience reactions and sounds created by the actors. Their voices are distinct enough that you can easily differentiate characters.
