About The Play

When Algernon discovers that his friend, Ernest, has created a fictional brother to escape his dull social obligations, Algernon decides to pose as the brother, resulting in mistaken identities, light-hearted debauchery, and ever-increasing confusion. Its high farce and witty dialogue have helped make The Importance of Being Earnest Wilde’s most enduringly popular play.
