2. THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

In fashionable Victorian London, Jack and Algernon escape their responsibilities by leading adventurous double lives. It's all good fun until both friends adopt the same alter ego! Suddenly two men named "Earnest Worthing" are wooing England's most eligible young ladies. Just one step ahead of disaster, the friends must grapple with the hilarious consequences of their deception in this "trivial comedy for serious people." Full of Oscar Wilde's dazzling wordplay, this beloved comedy leaves no doubt that fact is more fanciful than fiction.
