The Importance of Being Earnest — Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest is a brilliant farcical comedy about two young men who invent alternate identities in order to escape social obligations and pursue romance. Both find themselves assuming the name “Ernest,” leading to an increasingly elaborate series of misunderstandings involving love, marriage, family origins, and social respectability. Celebrated for its wit and verbal play, the comedy satirizes Victorian conventions, especially the seriousness with which society treats marriage, class, morality, and appearances.
