Set in Victorian England, The Importance of Being Earnest is the story of two young bachelors who have taken to bending the truth in order to put some excitement into their lives. John "Jack" Worthing has invented a ne'er-do-well brother, Ernest, whom he uses as an excuse to leave his dull country life behind to visit the charming and sophisticated Gwendolen Fairfax in the city. Meanwhile, Algernon "Algy" Moncrieff decides to pose as the non-existent Ernest to woo Jack's young and attractive ward, Cecily Cardew. When all four lovers end up together at Jack's country estate, the men struggle to keep up with their own stories and become tangled in a tale of deception, disguise and misadventure.
