In 1890's England, Algy Moncrieff and his friend Jack Worthing,
are a spirited pair of London dandies who are keen to win
the hands of the women they love. And their chosen brides,
the Pre-Raphaelite Cecily and the distinguished Gwendolen
are their perfect women - except that they appear to have
a pathological aversion to any name...other than Earnest.
But of course, adopting this unusual name is the least of
their troubles when the imposing Lady Bracknell arrives to
guard her beloved daughter's reputation and investigate her
suitors. Quizzing Jack over his social pedigree, Lady Bracknell
is utterly dismayed to discover that he has only the spurious
claim to being parented by a "handbag". She presents
him with an ultimatum: unless he can prove his suitable origin
within the week, the marriage will be off. Galloping between
London and the country, this farcical comedy of mistaken identities
and undiscovered liaisons will have you in stitches!
