Synopsis: A clever farce poking fun at the complex set of social conventions that defined upper-class England at the time, the play tells the story of Jack and Algernon and the antics that ensue as they seek romance while also trying to avoid the cumbersome demands of their class. To this end, they both adopt the alias Ernest, causing no end of confusion.
Despite its resounding success, scandal in Wilde’s personal life caused the run to be ended early. It has, however, gone on to be the author’s best known play.
