Algernon Moncrieff and Jack Worthing discover they have both been leading duel lives.
Jack lives in the country with his pretty ward Cecily Cardew, but in London he is known only as Earnest and is madly in love with Gwendolen Fairfax. Miss Fairfax’s cousin is Algernon, who, also under the pseudonym of Earnest, goes to
the country and in turn falls passionately in love with Jack’s ward Cecily... Confused? Well, do try to keep up!
So two attractive bachelors named Earnest, who aren’t… and two beautiful girls who are in love with Earnests... but who aren’t.
This of course can only mean one thing - Oscar Wilde’s hilarious and timeless masterpiece.
