About The Importance of Being Earnest
Celebrated as the finest comedy of the English language, this sparkling classic hilariously skewers Victorian England’s upper class. Jack and Algernon are carefree bachelors who’ve created false identities to shirk their responsibilities and have a bit of fun. Jack’s in love with the enchanting Gwendolen, Algernon is falling for Cecily—and both women have sworn to marry only men named Ernest. But their happiness hinges on the approval of Gwendolen’s mother, the unbending Lady Bracknell.
