Jack and Algernon use fictional identities to escape their social obligations. When both pursue women who are determined to marry a man named Ernest, their deceptions begin to unravel. Oscar Wilde’s comedy of manners turns engagements, family secrets, and respectable society into a game of verbal mischief.
