About The Importance of Being Earnest
Being sensible can be excessively boring - just ask Jack. While he plays the part of a responsible guardian in the countryside, he lives a secret life of indulgence in the city under an assumed name.
His friend Algy is no stranger to deception either. But when both men use aliases to pursue romance, their tangled lies threaten to unravel everything. With mistaken identities, sharp wit, and unexpected twists, this sparkling satire of Victorian society is a timeless comedy of manners and mischief.
