The Importance of Being Earnestby Oscar WildeVictorian gentleman Jack, who avoids scandal by pretending to be his own brother Ernest, has just fallen in love with a young woman who insists that she can only marry a man named Ernest - and when his best friend Algernon goes to Jack's estate pretending to be this same brother Ernest, he falls in love with Jack's ward Cecily, who similarly feels that Ernest is the perfect name for a husband. The two men must overcome their identitfy crisis despite the best efforts of an unwitting vicar, a slightly befuddled governess, and the fearsome Lady Bracknell.
