Jack and Algy are very close friends who are living double lives. In the country, they’re respectable gentlemen but in the city, they’re playboys without a care in the world. Their absurdly luxurious lifestyle is rudely interrupted when love enters the mix, and the pair struggle to keep track of who they’re pretending to be and when. Silliness ensues with whimsical ingénues, jealous fiancées, indomitable dowagers, and the most famous handbag in theatre history.
Widely regarded as one of the best theatrical comedies ever written, The Importance of Being Earnest is full of high farce, dazzling wordplay and hilariously unlikely situations, and has delighted audiences across the world for well over a century.
