New York City
Jack and Algernon, two London gentlemen, have both invented imaginary reasons to get away from their lives: an extravagant brother, an ailing old friend. But when they each fall in love, one with the other’s cousin, the other with the other’s ward, they’ll have to use all their wit and imagination to make it all turn out right. Stir in a long-lost mother, a child found in a handbag, and a disapproving aunt, and you’ve got one of the greatest comedies ever written.
