The Importance of Being Earnest

The Importance of Being Earnest tells the story of Gwendolen who loves Ernest and guess what? He loves her too. But Cecily loves Ernest too, though he’s only just finding that out. But is it a lover’s triangle, or is there room for two happy couples in Oscar Wilde’s madcap romance – and what will fearsome Lady Bracknell have to say about it? This quintessential comedy of proper manners, by the quintessential bad boy of his day, includes mislaid babies, mistaken identities, secret engagements, baffled suitors, and some of the wittiest wordplay ever volleyed over cucumber sandwiches.
