Witty. Wild. Wonderfully Absurd. A Satire Comedy by Oscar Wilde In a society where names are everything, The Importance of Being Earnest turns identification into a humorous game of deception. Meet Jack and Algernon, two beautiful bachelors who create identities to avoid social commitments and pursue love on their own terms. However, when their falsehoods are discovered, chaos follows in the most hilariously absurd way possible. Oscar Wilde's indestructible comedy mocks Victorian etiquette with razor-sharp wit, demonstrating that the truth isn't always authentic. Quotes "Oh, don't cough, Ernest.
