A farcical masterpiece with rapid-fire wit and eccentric characters, The Important of Being Earnest is Wilde’s last and most celebrated play. In late Victorian London, companions-in-cavorting Jack Worthing and Algernon “Algy” Moncrieff have fallen in love with two ladies who have their hearts set on marrying a man named Ernest. In pursuit of romance, both men concoct an elaborate deception. When Algy’s aunt, the formidable Lady Bracknell, starts sleuthing about for the truth, an outlandish surprise is revealed. Wilde’s buoyant comedy of manners will keep you anticipating a fresh twist of plot from one moment to the next.
