A star-studded version of Oscar Wilde's classic comedy. The Importance Of Being Earnest follows the fortunes of two wealthy and eligible, lovestruck bachelors Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, and the frothy and frivolous catalogue of events which follow them. Jack is romantically involved with Gwendolen Fairfax, while Jack's ward, Cecily Cardew, is the object of Algernon's affections. It is due to Jack's unworthy habit of representing himself as his imaginary brother, Ernest, and to Algernon's deceitful adoption of Ernest's name and reputation to simplify his courtship, that each of the girls believes herself to be engaged to the non-existent Ernest. A simple solution occurs to each - but neither reckons with the forceful Lady Bracknell, Gwendolen's mother and Algernon's aunt, whose consent is withheld. It is left to Miss Prism whose secret passion for the Reverend Dr Chasuble causes so much enjoyable confusion to create a way out that is acceptable to all parties in this, one of Oscar Wilde's best loved plays.
