The Importance of Being Earnest

They don't come any wilder than Oscar Wilde's classic comedy of manners, morals and morality!

Set in 1890s England, the story follows two young gentlemen who each adopt the same false name, "Ernest," without the other's knowledge. Their arrangement works well enough until both fall in love with women who have their hearts set on that name, sparking a tangle of mistaken identities and comic confusion.
